Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.8.5
Severity: wishlist
Hi there.
I am just upgrading my packages today and I had dpkg prompt me for the
substitution of a conffile by the maintainer of a package.
Something inspired by "git add" that would be very cool to have,
directly or indirectly, in dpkg would be to select which hunks of I file
I want to add on my system and which ones I don't.
In that sense, it would be very similar to what one gets when
"git add --interactive" does. Perhaps some code from there could be
taken?
I hope that you like this idea. :-) It would rock for system
administators. :-)
Thanks.
