Hi,

again the policy :( I will print it tomorrow and read it to avoid
conflicts with policy next time.

I like the fso-config idea. The packages need to be updated anyway,
so I can just add the file in there. But the correct dependency is
not fso-config-gta02, but fso-config meta package, because there
are config packages for devices other than gta02 (e.g. thinkpads).
