Public bug reported: I'm upgrading libvirt-daemon-system from 6.6.0-1ubuntu4 to 6.9.0-1ubuntu1. I got a conffile prompt on this file, and to me it's quite mysterious.
I suppose some part of libvirt added the delta for me automatically, and now that the file changed upstream (will add that info in a separate comment) we're triggering the usual conffile three way diff mechanism. This should probably be suppressed somehow - AFAICT this will happen for everyone that's used libvirt and IMO it's pretty confusing. I'll say no I guess...
