Hi Andreas,

from my point of view, this is not a bug.

fusioninventory-agent package uses ucf to handle such case and between
v2.2.3 (wheezy version) & v2.3.10 (jessie version), the default
installed agent.cfg configuration has been changed a little (mostly
commented new config value and few minor updates).

So I think the agent.cfg upgrade and change is just the expected
comportment when no user has updated it between distro upgrades.

As another point, fusioninventory-agent is useless and will really do
nothing if the configuration file isn't updated by system admin. And
thanks to ucf support in package, the agent.cfg file won't be
overwritten during distro upgrade.

As I'm currently working on fusioninventory-agent packaging to have it
updated to last upstream version in unstable. I'm still confused if we
really need or not to fix something in the package regarding our case.
Maybe we are not using ucf in the right way ? But I studied the problem
for a long time, made tests and I just think this issue is not a bug
for the moment.

What the best way in our case to avoid this upgrade issue report ?
