Bug#814644: [lvm2] Stupid changes in /etc/lvm/lvm.conf again and again

[Philipp Klaus Krause]

Package: lvm2
Version: 2.02.141-2
Severity: normal

--- Please enter the report below this line. ---

When I upgrade the lvm2 package through synaptic, it comes with a
/etc/lvm/lvm.conf. Since lvm2 changes the file all the time and I have
set issue_discards=1 in my /etc/lvm/lvm.conf I always get the dialog
about the changed config file, and get a list of changes. I have seen
this multiple times recently; basically on each lvm2 upgrade.
And when I see the list of changes it is just or mostly indentation or
linebreaks. Sometimes some real change is hidden in there, too. But lvm2
should stop making pointless changes that just put additional
maintanance burden on the user.
Just as I'm typing this I am doing an lvm2 upgrade; most of the changes
in the file are bullshit like this:

-	#     is not defined, a default single-entry list containing '@*' is
-	#     assumed.
+	#     is not defined, a default single-entry list containing '@*'
+	#     is assumed.
