It violates the Lenny RC policy, so leaving at 'serious'. AFAICS, it can be solved either by - dropping the modification altogether; it seems to be a hotfix for upgrading from intermediate versions during the lenny development cycle - making /etc/bitlbee/bitlbee.conf a configuration file instead of a conffile and keeping the modification. It's arguable if the admin should be prompted. If it's considered acceptable to modify the file without asking the admin, this would be quite easy to do. -- Niko Tyni nt...@debian.org -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
