AFAICT, changes through dpkg-reconfigure will be preserved. But you can change only some common options. For more complex changes you will have to do it by hand and your changes will be overriden. > What is the point of having all info stored in plain text files if one > is supposed to only use tools to edit them?

It would be a PITA to do them again (by hand) every time. More advanced changes need to be done my hand though. Regards, Andrei -- If you can't explain it simply, you don't understand it well enough.
