Comment 1 for bug 559194

<cjwatson> kirkland: symlinks into /etc don't get to be conffiles
<kirkland> cjwatson: even if i add them manually to debian/conffiles ?

<cjwatson> it's not a good idea anyway IMO!
<cjwatson> it involves the user editing stuff in /usr indirectly
<cjwatson> I'd strongly recommend some different approach
<kirkland> cjwatson: okay, thanks
<kirkland> lamont: ^
<cjwatson> for example you could write trivial conffile scripts in /etc that exec the programs in /usr
<kirkland> cjwatson: yeah, that's what i'll have to do
<kirkland> cjwatson: shell scripts that exec, rather than symlinks
