Package: acpi-support
Version: 0.109-10
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3

Hi,

/etc/modprobe.d/thinkpad_acpi.modprobe is removed in the postinst.
Other, obsolete conffiles are renamed.  All this happens
unconditionally, that is, discarding all possible changes of the user to
these files.

Please see http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling for good ways to
handle obsolete conffiles.

Note that thinkpad_acpi.modprobe is *not* obsolete, and it is also
removed upon the first install of the package, so my fresh Debian
install was born without it. :-)  This interesting behaviour is caused
by an an uncomplete fix for bug #481253 [1].
