Thank you for the explaining the reasons. I understand the complexity of having to support several distros with less advanced ability to handle configuration files. This was the reason for me to switch to Debian, way before Ubuntu was born. :-)
Since as you described the configuration file does not change behaviour by its presence because of the built in defaults and you are OK with not shipping it I plan not shipping it in the Ubuntu package. This aligns with the effort of "empty /etc" where the goal is having good defaults in the packages across the archives thus /etc can be deleted to reset local configuration. -- You received this bug notification because you are a member of Ubuntu Bugs, which is subscribed to Ubuntu. https://bugs.launchpad.net/bugs/1870314 Title: [needs-packaging] google-guest-agent To manage notifications about this bug go to: https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+bug/1870314/+subscriptions -- ubuntu-bugs mailing list ubuntu-bugs@lists.ubuntu.com https://lists.ubuntu.com/mailman/listinfo/ubuntu-bugs
