This is correct. > * However /etc/nslcd.conf is not in the list of conffiles for nslcd. > new nslcd.conf is generated during nslcd upgrade and administrator > has to overwrite back the hand-tuned version herself. This should not be the case. The debconf handling should be so that administrator changes should be preserved. The postinst should update the existing configuration when changes are made through debconf and should only install a new nslcd.conf if it missing (i.e. on install). Recently a bug was found in this (#670133), perhaps you are seeing the same? Please describe the changes that are not preserved on upgrades. Also adding the version of nslcd that you're using would help. > * Please consider adding /etc/nslcd.conf to conffile to preserve it > across package upgrades. You cannot flag a file as conffile and both do configuration with debconf because maintainer scripts are not allowed to touch conffiles.
