Subject: dpkg: add option to interactively merge configuration with updated configuration on package update

Date: Thu, 22 Apr 2010 21:40:52 +0200

Package: dpkg
Version: 1.15.5.6
Severity: wishlist
Tags: upstream

When dpkg/apt asks if the user wants to install 
the package maintainers configuration file/stay 
with the actual configuration/show a diff/examine 
the situation, it would be very nice to have an 
option to interactively merge the the maintainers 
version. This might be done using 

sdiff -s -o $merged $config $config.maintainer

followed by writing $merged to $config and 
deleting $config.maintainer.

This is probably the most popular (and oldest) wishlist request on dpkg.
It would have been nice to verify that it was not already submitted
before-hand (and avoid me the non-productive triaging work).
