Package: cxref
Version: 1.6e-1
Severity: serious
Justification: Policy 10.7.3

Dear Maintainer,

on a fresh installation cxref complains about a locally modified config file:

  A new version (/tmp/cxref-cpp.defines) of configuration file
  /etc/cxref/cxref-cpp.defines is available, but the version installed
  currently has been locally modified.

Even worse this config file is marked as locally modified after the package
installation and apt probably will complain on every future package upgrade
although I have chosen "install the package maintainer's version" in the
installation dialog.

It looks like the cxref package contains an (older) version of this config
file and is overwriting it in the postinst script.

I'm not sure about the severity of this bug. According to
https://release.debian.org/jessie/rc_policy.txt and Debian Policy 10.7.3
it should be "serious". Please adjust the severity when I interpret that
wrong.

Regards

Uwe
