A comment related to the conffile modification:

<eddyp> vorlon: the patch is there, in case you want to look over it
<eddyp> 
http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?msg=39;filename=default_mirror.patch;att=1;bug=333294
<vorlon> eddyp: RC bug, you're editing a conffile
<vorlon> (that was what I wanted to look at it for :)
<eddyp> vorlon: I suspected that
<eddyp> vorlon: if you look close it doesn't touch the admin's changes, it only 
operates on the default file
<eddyp> this is quite a corner case, IMHO
<vorlon> eddyp: no, it's not.
<vorlon> eddyp: pbuilderrc never should've been a conffile in the first place, 
and I'm sick to death of getting conffile
prompts about it on every upgrade
<eddyp> unless the file is turned into a non-conffile then I don't see a way out
<vorlon> eddyp: so you can be darn sure I'm going to block any attempt to 
inflict that same pain on other users of
pbuilderrc when it's a policy violation besides

<eddyp> and afaik there is no sane way of doing that ....
<vorlon> yes, there is
<vorlon> doing it is left as an exercise for the developer
