Followup-For: Bug #1040860 That proposed update causes a regression in the piuparts bullseye->bookworm upgrade test since debsums reports modified conffiles (while piuparts does not customize any conffile). My impression is that the unmodified old conffile from bullseye overwrites the unmodified new conffile from bookworm. #1041332
My suggestion would be to *not* release 2.17.10-5+deb12u1 with 12.1 next Saturday and revisit this for the 12.2 point release. Andreas
