Right. We have included the patch in Ubuntu and it is an
improvement. There is one new bug introduced; we don't have a writeup
of it but Scott just described it to me approximately like this: when
A Replaces B and both have a copy of the conffile it is sometimes
possible for B's conffile to be on disk when both A and B are
installed (presumably, when B was installed last).
We would like to fix this bug of course but we haven't got around to
it yet. So I would suggest that you include the patch in Debian and
we'll improve matters further when someone has the time and
inclination ...
Thanks,
Ian.
