Thanks for some off-list help - appreciated.
I am having problems with packages not removing their config files
during the dist-upgrade. Case in point: dapper/udev has rules in
/etc/udev/rules.d/85-hdparm.rules and etch/udev has the same in
/etc/udev/hdparm.rules. Upgrading from dapper to etch leaves the
85-hdparm.rules file.
Is this policy for package upgrades? I realise that for *removing*
packages Debian tends to leave the config files there, unless you
--purge. What's the best way to handle this as part of an upgrade?
