Bug#206524: xserver-xfree86: XF86Config-4 is overwritten even when it is not managed by debconf
Package: xserver-xfree86
Version: 4.2.1-10
Severity: important
Tags: sid
Hello !
I have just upgraded the X server to the latest version and my XF86Config-4
was overwritten even if it was not managed by debconf (in previous upgrade,
I was asked if this file has to be overwritten by a new one or not): there
is no debconf line at the beginning or at the end of the file.
>From my understanding of the message which was at the top of the file,
deleting the entire debconf stuff should prevent the file to be altered and
this was the case until the transition to dexconf.

[useless, since this is not my true XF86Config-4]
