I am the upstream author of switchconf package, that is in etch, and I have prepared a new version of switchconf. This version adds two new features that close bugs in BTS and change the build process. There are also small changes from 0.0.5.1-2 that was never released into Debian.
This is the relevant part of the changelog: switchconf (0.0.6-1) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * Changes to the build process: * updated Makefile with better intelligence to detect package names * add support for multi-package sources * $(DESTDIR) variable should be use in install rules only * updated upload rule in Makefile * added tag rule to Makefile * New upstream version: * added new methods to change configuration files: copy, hardlinks (closes: #416094); Eric Lavarde * added init.d script to allow for boot time configuration switch using kernel options (closes: #416095); Eric Lavarde -- Jose Calhariz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Wed, 23 May 2007 19:17:56 +0100 switchconf (0.0.5.1-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=low * updated to Standards Version 3.7.2 * use invoke-rc.d to start init.d scripts, if it exist * removing martin f. krafft from Uploaders -- Jose Calhariz <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fri, 7 Jul 2006 23:02:50 +0100 It can be dowloaded from my homepage on http://web.tagus.ist.utl.pt/~jose.calhariz/ As the previous sponsor is not available, I am asking if anyone can sponsor the new upload.

Most switchconf users are laptop owners who want to change their network settings according to where they currently are - but there are many cases for non mobile systems to desire to choose between configuration sets. . Switchconf is a very simple script that takes its arguments from the command line. It allows you to maintain different sets of configurations, installing the desired set of configuration when called with its name as an argument, and execute a pre-specified set of commands before and after the switch. -- P.S.
