Details

When I Syu'd today, I got this warning:
warning: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf saved as /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/10-synaptics.conf.pacsave

What happened to my synaptics config? It seems that upstream has their own file they now use: /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d/50-synaptics.conf.

When I did open 50-synaptics.conf, I found this disturbing text on lines 4 through 6:
# DO NOT EDIT THIS FILE, your distribution will likely overwrite
# it when updating. Copy (and rename) this file into
# /etc/X11/xorg.conf.d first.

Would you please
a) add a post_upgrade message to note that the file was replaced
b) ditch the "do not edit this file" stuff, because this file was meant for editing


Additional info:
* package version(s) 1.6.2-4

Steps to reproduce:
pacman -Syu

50-synaptics.conf is simply the former 10-synaptics.conf. We only follow upstream decission to use that file name.

Nothing else has changed. Feel free to choose yourself to keep that file untouched and use a different one with higher or lower file name or
make changes in it like you did in 10-synaptics.conf.
