Bug#366026: xserver-xorg upgrade modified /etc/X11/xorg.conf though it had local changes
Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.16
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3
The Debian policy manual says that local changes must be preserved
during upgrade. However xserver-xorg upgrade duplicated some lines
in Section "Files":
Section "Files"
FontPath "unix/:7100" # local font server
# if the local font server has problems, we can fall back on these
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/share/fonts/X11/misc"
FontPath "/usr/lib/X11/fonts/misc"
