Details

Description:

When the package is upgraded configuration files like
/usr/share/config/kdm/backgroundrc
and
/usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup
are overwritten as opposed to
/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc
which is retained, with the new version being installed as
/usr/share/config/kdm/kdmrc.pacnew

It would be nice if that mechanism was also applied to all other modified configuration files.

Additional info:
* package version(s): 4.11.11-1 (and earlier)

Steps to reproduce:
* customise /usr/share/config/kdm/Xsetup, backgroundrc, etc.
* upgrade kdebase-workspace
* changes to Xsetup etc. are lost
This task depends upon
