[Pkg-sysvinit-devel] Bug#386660: sysv-rc: Configuration file `/etc/init.d/rc.local'

> Why doesn't it affect stable and testing upgrades?

Because the file was added to initscripts without flagging it as a
conffile in version 2.86.ds1-16, and flagged as a conffile in version
2.86.ds1-18.  So for those upgrading to version 2.86.ds1-18 or later
from stable or testing (or any version before 2.86.ds1-16) with an
existing /etc/init.d/rc.local should and will get a conffile question,
and those upgrading without such file should and will not get a
conffile question.

So it will only affect the unstable users who installed the broken
2.86.ds1-16 and 2.86.ds1-17 versions.

Friendly,
