After *many* hours of trying to understand why nor xscreensaver, nor xscreensaver-demo was not reading my XML file, I finally realised that only the global config file and the user config file are checked to get a list of hacks. Now, as a maintainer, how I am supposed to add a hack to the list? Surely not editing a conffile from other package in postinst, as that is not permitted by the Debian Policy. Is there any other way to do this? -- Martín Ferrari -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble?
