Is this a systemic change or is it done on a package by package basis?
I know that many packages in Debian are moving towards <package>.d/
directories for custom configuration.
I guess this is a good approach for some cases. But it won't work for
the first two configuration files I want to change:
/etc/apticron/apticron.conf and /etc/dhcp3/dhclient.conf .
I see John's point about maintaining consistency but that is not yet
what I want to do. I just want to ensure that certain files are
twiddled in certain ways.
