Package: virtualbox-ose-guest-utils
Version: 1.5.2-dfsg2-1
Severity: important
I realize that "out of the box experience" is important to some people, but
I'd prefer /etc/X11/xorg.conf to *not* be silently hacked by installation of
this package.
virtualbox-ose-guest-utils.postinst:
case "${1}" in
configure)
/usr/lib/virtualbox/x11config.pl
;;
Installing this package caused my mouse to not work next time X was restarted.
This replaced an otherwise working input device section option with:
Driver "vboxmouse"
The policy states:
"The maintainer scripts must not alter a conffile of any package, including
the one the scripts belong to."
I guess this means that the modification of xorg.conf for the purposes of
enabling guest additions really cannot be handled like this, with a hack of a
perl script. It should rather plug in to the existing framework surrounding
the creation and/or maintenance of xorg.conf that the debian-x (and soon hal
with input hotplugging) people maintain.
Thanks, Kel.
