[Pkg-acpi-devel] Handling conffile removal of powerbtn in acpid

[Loïc Minier]

        Heya,

 acpid dropped the powerbtn conffiles some uploads ago, but didn't
 rm_conffiles() at the same time.  We had some discussion on
 pkg-acpi-devel about this.  I'd like to rm_conffiles the files and
 mention the removal in NEWS.Debian.  Michael Meskes would rather keep
 the package as is or add some debconf logic to allow the user to chose
 to keep the files or remove them.


 I personally think that there aren't too many users who rely heavily on
 the scripts; there is support in acpi-support, gnome-power-manager,
 display managers etc. to shut down your computer, and you can get the
 functionality back by copying the sample file back in place if you read
 NEWS.Debian.

 I think it's a little late for the debconf approach to merge
 translations and all.

 So I think we should either rm_conffile the file or continue shipping
 it as we did in the past, but it should behave the same for upgrades
 and new installs IMO.

 Could the release team please comment on what we should do for lenny?

   Cheers,
