Hello,

I was interested in the fix that the patch aims to provide.  A casual
glance revealed a potential problem.

+    if dpkg --compare-versions "$2" lt "2.84-0.2~"; then
+        mkdir -p /var/lib/transmission-daemon/.config/transmission-daemon
+        chown -R debian-transmission:debian-transmission
/var/lib/transmission-daemon/*

/var/lib/transmission-daemon/* would not include .config folder. .config
folder will end up being owned by 'root' user.  After upgrade, the
daemon would not be able to write to the settings.json file before exit.
 So settings modified using RPC or web interface will not be saved on
exit.  I have not tested this though.

Thanks for Transmission, Transmission packaging and the patch.
