Policy requires that local changes are preserved; it does *not* require that users be prompted before config files are updated to reflect upstream syntax changes. We've already done this several times before in the samba packaging for similar reasons. So I don't see any reason to prompt the user here; the only thing that needs to be added is a debconf note in the case that we aren't able to auto-update the config safely (use of includes or continuation lines, or passdb values chaining other backends besides 'guest'). -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
