X-Spam-Level:
Package: desktop-profiles
Version: 1.4.5
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.4
The file /etc/gconf2/path is a conffile owned by the package gconf2.
Postinst of desktop-profiles offers through debconf to mess with that
file. That is a violation of Debian Policy section 10.7.4.
I see no other policy-compliant approaches to fixing this than either
a) Convince the gconf2 maintainer to adopt your hack
b) Convince the gconf2 maintainer to provide a tool for hacking
c) Provide your hack only as a "tweak"
By "tweak" I mean write a self-contained script, include it with your
package, and make a note to the local admin in README.Debian about its
existence.
CDDs can then choose to break Debian Policy and automate the use of your
tweak, possibly asking first through debconf.
- Jonas
P.S.
If defining a CDD as something completely within Debian (as discussed
recently on the debian-custom mailinglist) then off course they also are
not allowed to automate your gconf2 tweak.

Description:
desktop-profiles - framework for setting up desktop profiles
Closes: 309871 311113 312437 313510 315828 330380 332719
Changes:
desktop-profiles (1.4.7) unstable; urgency=low
.
* Added a conversion script (to be run manually by admin) that will:
- generate the metadata needed to manage all currently used configuration
sources (including those added by the admin) through the mechanism
provided by this package
- replace (unless you tell it not to) the global path file by one that
assumes all configuration sources are managed through desktop-profiles
- creates backup copies of everything it changes
* Removed the hook that allowed changing the global path file from within
the postinst maintainer script, instead we now just tell the admin that
the global path file needs changing, and point him to the conversion
script (Closes: 309871, 311113)
* Updated kommander gui-script to work with kommander from kde 3.4.X
* Change to debian-policy version 3.6.2
* Translations:
- Added French translation by Jean-Luc Coulon (f5ibh) and the French
translation team (Closes: 312437, 332719)
- Added Vietnamese translation send in by Clytie Siddall, and
corrected some spelling mistakes in the English strings that she
noticed (Closes: 313510)
- Added Czech tranlsation by Miroslav Kure (Closes: 315828)
- Added Portuguese Translation by Miguel Figueiredo (Closes: 330380)
- Added Basque translation by pi <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>
- Updated Dutch translation
- Adapted creation of profile-manager.pot so that translators don't have
to do unnecesary work
