Bug#236252: Configuration file not under /etc

[Manoj Srivastava <srivasta@debian.org (va, manoj)>]

severity 236252 serious
retitle 236252 Configuration file not under /etc
thanks

Hi,

        The Compose key map configuration file, which can be used to
 extend the functionality of the compose key by editing the
 configuration files under /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/locale, is not under
 /etc.  This is in clear violation of a MUST rule in policy, and thus
 this escalation in severity is warranted. Whether or not this is
 release critical is up to the release team, of course.

	This is not a frivolous request; I would very much appreciate
 a means for entering indic characters under X, and not have my
 changes be blown away every time X is upgraded.

	I would suggest that the files be kept under /etc, and a
 symbolic link be placed in  /usr/X11R6/lib/X11/ for minimum
 disruption.

	manoj
