Bug#438940: xkb-data: package overwrite user-modified files without notice
Package: xkb-data
Version: 1.0~cvs.20070721-1
Severity: normal
Hi,
I like to modify my keyboard configuration to suit my needs by modifying files
in /usr/share/X11/xkb/symbols.
Each time xkb-data is updated, it overwrites my modifications. I think
this files should be considered configuration files as if they were in etc, and
the same behaviour should apply. If the file has been modified since last
install, then ask user for advice, or back it up.
Thanks.
