553,Remove configuration files from packages,TAsn,ainulindale,"Hey,

ATM we store many configuration files (most notably phonegui's conf file) in the package in a way they extract to their final position (instead of a skeleton dir or something similar), this causes many annoying 
   Configuration file '/etc/frameworkd-phonegui.conf'
    ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
    ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
       What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
        Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
        N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
          D     : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed)
     The default action is to keep your current version.
    *** frameworkd-phonegui.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?n

We should *stop* shipping configuration files with packages! that's just bad and annoying.

Possible solution:
ship the configuration file in to /usr/share, and add postinst script to copy the new configuration if doesn't exist already. Even better, if possible, just modify the app to do that itself.",defect,closed,major,,Feed packages,SHR-unstable,duplicate,,
