[Pkg-xen-devel] Bug#923401: /etc/default/xen conffile vs. ucf

[Ian Jackson]

Package: xen-utils-common
Version: 4.11.1+26-g87f51bf366-2

In stretch, /etc/default/xen was a ucf config file.  In buster until
recently it was absent, with some special casing in rules etc. to
handle its removal.  in recent buster it is back, as a dpk-ghandld
file.  I think we should not switch from ucf to dpkg-handled for
buster.  We should rtain ucf.

How about this patch ?  salsa#diziet/default-xen-ucf

I have done a test build and the result seemed to work.  I'm pretty
sure it's right for upgrades from stretch since for that it is
completely standard use of ucf.  I think it is right for upgrades from
testing too.

I did an install test of a machine with sid's package and it installed
and the result is /etc/default/xen as an `obsolete' conffile in dpkg,
and ucf seems happy and there is ucf metadata for the file now.

Ian.
