We've passed this report to upstream, but haven't gotten a fix yet. I'll give the upstream report a prod. Cheers, Christopher Martin Thanks. To the extent this involves dpkg, isn't it Debian-specific? I agree there's some upstream work involved too. Well, I doubt we either could or would want to change the way conffiles are updated by dpkg. I think that by getting upstream to fix how kdmrc is altered by the KDM Control Centre module (not stripping comments, etc.), then users updating would get a usable amount of 'diff' output to judge whether or not to replace their kdmrc or keep their own copies.
