Well, you don't edit shipped files. Neither conffiles nor normal files. Instead, you put these values into a new file (not a shipped file!, maybe ship a template in /usr/share/$pkg) in either /etc or /var (with a symlink in /usr pointing to it) that is solely managed by the maintainer scripts. Also the question arises: *when* should these values be regenerated? * upon initial installation only? * upon upgrade? * upon package reconfiguration? * upon reboot? * every 42 minutes? Andreas
