Nope. Imagine package foo-player with two debconf questions, gtk-theme and audio-bus. 1) install foo-player, and select "green" and "JackD" 2) edit /etc/foo-player.cfg to "theme = blue" 3) preseed new value for audio-bus "Pulseaudio" 4) run "dpkg-reconfigure --favor-answers-over-pkgstate" Result would be that *both* theme and bus would be changed. I have now raised the question at debian-devel@l.d.o - let's discuss technical details there instead: https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2014/04/msg00453.html - Jonas -- * Jonas Smedegaard - idealist & Internet-arkitekt * Tlf.: +45 40843136 Website: http://dr.jones.dk/ [x] quote me freely [ ] ask before reusing [ ] keep private
