Hello
The other day, I was upgrading cups and dpkg did ask me the usual way
if I wanted to keep my cups config file or take the upstream version.
Like always, I asked for a diff and was quite puzzled because I did

Some time ago, I've wrote several bug reports to packages, that download
files from some non-apt-secured sources of the web, and install them.
I got more or less positive feedback from maintainers that happily
accepted my suggestions, to those who thought they were crap and not
necessary ;)
