"local aliases" was the wrong choice of term. .mrconfig is managed in the repo by debconf-team. It's designed to include the entirety of debconf-team and debconf-data. However, some of use may want to integrate additional Git repos, such as the sponsors repo, or the git-mediawiki clone etc., and it would just make sense to add those to .mrconfig.local instead of ~/.mrconfig somewhere further up the tree. I guess I am somewhat hung up on the idea of being able to use ~/debconf in a self-contained manner, but your point about /tmp/.mrconfig when checking out d-i into /tmp is also valid. A bit at an impasse now. However, I believe that the first patch for #743576 is still an enhancement. Just leave out the second patch in this bug report. -- .''`. martin f. krafft <madduck@d.o> @martinkrafft : :' : proud Debian developer `. `'` http://people.debian.org/~madduck `- Debian - when you have better things to do than fixing systems
