[Bug 594544] [NEW] get prompt about modified config file on upgrade from hardy to lucid

[James Troup]

Public bug reported:

When upgrading machines from hardy to lucid, I always get asked about
/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf.  I don't believe we modify dhclient.conf (the
only time we use dhcp is during install, we use manual network
configuration after that), so I don't think we should be getting this
prompt.

Setting up dhcp3-client (3.1.3-2ubuntu3) ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-enter-hooks.d/debug ...
Installing new version of config file /etc/dhcp3/dhclient-exit-hooks.d/debug ...

Configuration file `/etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf'
 ==> Modified (by you or by a script) since installation.
 ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
   What would you like to do about it ? Your options are:
    Y or I : install the package maintainer's version
    N or O : keep your currently-installed version
      D : show the differences between the versions
      Z : background this process to examine the situation
 The default action is to keep your current version.
