[fink:feature-requests] #245 Replacement/Update of ConfFiles

This is the *intended* behavior of ConfFiles, by the way, because the goal was not to destroy global customizations that users make when the package gets updated.

Maybe debconf could be used to help with this.

Files listed in the field ConfFiles do not get replaced in newer versions / revisions of a package. The only way is a purge, install sequence, which is a pain, when there is a large number of dependences. 
My suggestions is that with install or update there is a dialogue about which version to take similar to the one, when such a file has been changed manually, and with reinstall the file is replaced without dialogue.
