Bug#388118: xserver-xorg: please use ucf instead of an own config-tracker



Package: xserver-xorg
Version: 1:7.0.23
Severity: wishlist

Hello,

when you are currently working on the package-configuration-scripts
anyways it would probably a good time to suggest the use of ucf instead
of your own config-modification-tracker. ucf does the same, i.e. you
feed it with a dynamically generated conffile, it checks if the current
conffile has been modified manually and installs the new version if not.
However, it does also offer many things like the original dpkg-conffile
handling, like presenting the user 3-way diffs, let them choose a
version, things like that. So it's probably more convenient for both
sides: for you because your scripts get smaller, for the users because
they get more comfortable and more debian-like conflict-handling.


Thanks for your work & regards
   Mario
