No it does not have to lost the local modified settings.
An usual way is to get (with some shell magic) in your .config script
the actual values of the local (maybe modified) configuration file and
displaying them as default in debconf.
Just for a quick example I am using the following in my config
maintainer script:
if [ -f /etc/sbnc/sbnc.conf ] ; then
HOST=$(grep system.ip /etc/sbnc/sbnc.conf|cut -d"=" -f2)
if [ "X$HOST" = "X" ] ; then
HOST="0.0.0.0"
fi
db_set sbnc/host $HOST
PORT=$(grep system.port /etc/sbnc/sbnc.conf|cut -d"=" -f2)
if [ "X$PORT" = "X" ] ; then
PORT="9000"
fi
db_set sbnc/port $PORT
fi
Not the best example but it is working. :-)
On upgrading etc the config script will be called, first it checks if
the configuration file exists, if it exists it tries to get with a
little bit of shell magic the values of the configuration file, also if
the user has modified it.
Then it sets those values in the debconf database and db_go will display
the actual modified values as standard.
I hope this will help you :)
