[Bug 816117] Re: Files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init should be conffiles

[Steve Langasek]

Fixed in the current development release, so marking as such.

BTW, when installing a new conffile over a file that wasn't previously a
conffile, dpkg will prompt the admin whether to overwrite.

Title:
  Files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init should be conffiles

Status in “ifupdown” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “ifupdown” source package in Lucid:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  I needed to make a change in /etc/init/network-interface.conf to make
  my persistent PPP connection work with upstart. However my change kept
  going away after a couple of months. It took me a while to figure out
  why. The files installed by ifupdown in /etc/init are not marked as
  conffiles!

  Please mark /etc/init/network-interface.conf and friends as conffiles,
  so if a sysadmin needs to make change to these files, they are
  retained and do not disappear silently the next time the ifupdown
  package is upgraded!
