I added a comment to this bug report:

http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=587154

Currently, the upgrade scripts over-write /etc/sympa/sympa.conf and /etc/sympa/wwsympa.conf.  Even more problematic, they comment out the database host line so you cannot point it to another server.  If there's no sympa database with the same parameters on localhost, then the installer script fails and installation breaks.

Even if the installation didn't break, my custom authentication settings for wwsympa get overridden.  This seem quite unsane.  I have been unable to figure out what code is responsible for this untoward behavior.  What's going on?
