Package: kdm Version: 4:3.3.1-4 Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.3
Hello KDE maintainers, kcontrol overwrite the conffile /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc without respecting comment and formating. For example if you start with the file provided in the current kdm package, launch kcontrol, choose Login manager->Administrator Mode,make a change, cancel it and it apply, you get a complelty different file /etc/kde3/kdm/kdmrc, see patch below. This means dpkg conffiles handling is useless here since you cannot merge the changes.
