So users would be prompted even if they have not modified an old config. Attached is a patch that corrects this issue too. But it seems like doing what I said before should be possible, if dpkg allows some way to check if files have been changed. (I'm not sure if reading directly from /var/lib/dpkg/ is allowed). -- Saludos, Felipe Sateler
