THANK YOU.

I do not get this, does it means that installing another
bacula-director-<dbtype> package does not preserve permissions?  This is
weird, given my comment below about purging old packages.

Installing another -<dbtype> package should completely purge the old
-<dbtype> package, so no bacula-dir.conf file should be available when
the new package is uncompressed.  Can you elaborate a bit more, please
(yes, I am a bit lazy...)?

IIRC bacula-dir.conf is not dbtype-independent, is it?  The easiest
solution I can think of is to split the -<dbtype>-specific part into its
own file and move the general bacula-dir.conf file to -director-common.

In the past I tried to get Ubuntu's maintainers into the team, but no
one has replied yet: do you have any direct contact with them?

I am of the same opinion as yours :-)

Both point dealt in my other reply:

Thanks.

Feel free to ask for sponsorship as soon as you are ready, may I suggest
to add the DM-upload stuff to that as well?  ;-)

Thx, bye,
