1) /etc/l7-protocols would be a symlink to /usr/share/l7-protocols managed
by maintainer scripts of l7-protocols. It is not clear what to do during
removal (and before purge) - we shouldn't leave a dangling symlink in /etc.
I would avoid this one:
mkdir /etc/l7-protocols/local-custom
# really makes it in /usr/share/l7-protocols is a bad idea
(...)
5) Mark symlinks in /etc/l7-protocols as conffiles. I don't know if it
really would help, though.
To be honest I'm not actually sure what the behaviour would be in that
case either! Would be interesting to try it and see, if it works this
would be quite a good solution.
(...)
I think I'd rank the solutions in order of preference 5 (if it
works!), 2 (adding both locations), 4, 2 (changing the location), 3, 1
Unfortunately, it seems that solutions 5 and 1 are not applicable due to
#421344[1] (dpkg: does not gracefully handle symlink conffiles). :/
