So, I don't see why it is not a RC bug. Debian policy requires that local changes to configuration files are retained. This generally implies that packages should try to preserve configuration values represented in other ways (such as symlinks), but this is not a requirement of policy. And as I've pointed out, there are significant high-profile examples where admin changes to symlinks are not preserved. > More importantly, will this be fixed in etch?
