The dpkg-maintscript-helper package says you need a pre-depends on dpkg 1.15.7.2 or newer. As this is from before squeeze, I suspected that this note was no longer current. If that's not the case, feel free to close this bug. It was just meant as a gentle reminder. But maybe you still want to keep it for older systems with older dpkg (ubuntu still has some supported releases with older dpkg). > In the meantime, if the conffile-related behavior of the maintainer > scripts is problematic in some way, that would be an important bug and > I'd be happy to look into it. Not that I know of. I just saw the note in the postinst while looking for an example to see how dpkg-maintscript-helper could be used. The git package is working fine. Thanks for maintaining it!
