[...] Hello Guillem. This is still very intrusive and I still don't like it... Last time I had to update base-files for a new release, the things that had to be changed were done in their own commits, easy to identify in the git history. I see that as an improvement over the previous status, when all the changes were mixed in a single shot. So, after base-files is finally in git, and for something which is done once or twice every two years, I think this is not such a big deal to justify the added complexity. [ I'm still keeping the bug open in either case ] Thanks.
