Yes true, and that's fine for me.

I'm closing the bug.

Thanks,

Not that I'm opposed to your idea, but you should be able to just divert
the menu item to a different directory.

Bug#254312: base-config: add a suffix to the file names of the menu items

[Free Ekanayaka]

Package: base-config
Version: 2.21
Severity: wishlist


It would be useful to add a special suffix to the executable
files in /usr/lib/base-config/menu which will be considered
as menu entries.

For example we could have:

mta.cfg mta.mnu mta.tst

and then change the code in prep-menu accordingly:

find menu \( -type f -or -type l \) -perm -700 -printf '%f\n' | grep .cfg

This way it would be easier for other packages to customise base-config. For
example a package could provide a custom mta.cfg diverting the original file
to mta.cfg.distrib, and prep-menu will not include the .distrib file in the
menu.
