README for a link directory of ifupdown-scripts-zg2
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

This directory contains symlinks to interface scripts in
/etc/network/ifupdown-scripts-zg2.d. The scheme is intended to kind of
mimic the system V init script scheme.

Since the symlinks carry important information (which interface scripts
should be called in which order), they should be considered conffiles.

However, dpkg does not currently allow symlinks to conffiles to be
contained in packages, and it does not supply any handling for that
scheme.

If you feel the need to change the symlinks, please do so in the dpkg
conffile /etc/network/ifupdown-scripts-zg2.d-symlink.conf and run
update-ifupdown-scripts-zg2.d-symlinks to update the symlinks
themselves. If you manually change the symlinks without going through
/etc/network/ifupdown-scripts-zg2.d-symlink.conf, updating this
package will fail since the package checks if the symlinks are in sync
with the conffile in the preinst maintainer script.

If you think that there is a better way to handle this problem, please
get in touch with the package maintainer via the Debian BTS.
