I need input on this. Joey Hess (See Bug#81249) complains about the fact that local changes to /etc/debian_version are not preserved on upgrades (he wants this file to read "unstable" instead of the current "testing/unstable").
What should I do? * Remove this file altogether, since it serves no useful purpose. * Make it a conffile (and therefore change its traditional behaviour). * Follow FHS and move it to /usr/share/misc, where it probably belongs. (if we accept that it is "shareable", which I'm not 100% sure). * Keep the file as it is, as an exception to FHS, like /etc/mtab which is not a configuration file either. [ Please read the bug logs before answering. Thanks in advance. ]
