"But the most important thing is, that it keeps record of which |
| 11 |
configuration files you edited and auto-updates those that you haven't |
| 12 |
touched. After it has collected the necessary information it will most |
| 13 |
often only prompt you for intervention where it is really necessary". |

Thus, it seems that my etc-update is behaving like dispatch-conf, |
| 16 |
updating some files (the missing six) without notice. This sound |
| 17 |
strange. Shouldn't etc-update automerge them together with the other |
| 18 |
ones that require only trivial changes? |
