well i'm quite new in debian and actually had till now only packages without 
configfile handling. So it would be great if you can halp me there. Otherwise 
yes I'm interessed in the maintance :) Maybe one notice: I'm a employee of 
kolab, too.

The current update script is "quite" smart it scans through the existiong ons 
and test them against the default value. only if they differ from that these 
values are moved to the new config file. So it should handle both cases 
successfully in most cases :) But for sure I would leave backup file, just for 
the case.

I'll test both scenarios.

Am I allowed to run a php script in preinst scriot. I had read, that I only 
can depend on build essentials [1]?  Or did I mixed something up?
