Package: xen-tools
Followup-For: Bug #401206

the proposed patch modifies a conffile, so would require no longer
maintaining /etc/xen-tools/xen-tools.conf as a conffile in order to
avoid a policy violation (10.7.4):

     The maintainer scripts must not alter a `conffile' of _any_
     package, including the one the scripts belong to.

that said, i think it would be worth maintaining it as a non-conffile,
as the kernel version is almost always going to change.

an alternate approach would be to maintain symlinks in /boot for the
appropriate kernel, much like linux-image packages do for the
/boot/vmlinuz and /boot/initrd.img symlinks. something like
/boot/vmlinuz-xen and /boot/initrg.img-xen ... this would allow the
configuration file to ship with a sane default and remain a conffile.

live well,
  vagrant
