[Bug 1483923] Re: dpkg-divert breaks nginx installation

[Benjamin Bach]

Regarding the discussion about dpkg-divert: It's inevitable -- I wanna
change something in nginx.conf that's not possible to change elsewhere
because /etc/nginx/conf.d is only loaded in the http { ... } segment:

2015/11/11 22:29:32 [emerg] 15102#0: "worker_processes" directive is not
allowed here in /etc/nginx/conf.d/test.conf:1

I see the point of avoiding it, but it demands changes in the original
package to allow other packages to avoid modifying its configuration
files.. but it's almost the same problem with user-defined
modifications. There should always be room for both these cases.

Agreed, no need to patch this in Ubuntu. Should be done in Debian, which
I can see would have the same problem.

But it seems it will be hard to find consensus about whether such things
should be addressed or not!
