Bug#681635: devscripts.conf handling

[Christoph Anton Mitterer]

Package: devscripts
Version: 2.12.1
Severity: wishlist


Hi.

devscripts.conf handling seems to be a bit weird to me...

AFAICS, the file is not installed on new installations, right?
And on installations where it already exists, it's manually extended by
added config file snippets.

This leads to the problem though, that my devscripts.conf file, even though
unmodified by myself, differs from host to host, which shouldn't be
the case IMHO.


Can't this be managed as configfile, or via ucf or so? Or is the intended way
now to remove it, if nothing was changed from the defaults.

Thanks.


Chris.
