Comment 494 for bug 1

I share your point of view, in a deeper way! I think that the idea of creating a option into Ubuntu that would give choice between "Expert" and "Beginner" would be very interesting. When people would choose "Expert", a lot of more advanced options could appear in Ubuntu Apps and the system would ask more "technical" questions while it would not if the user choosed "Beginner". Maybe that this idea is not necessary yet but could be interesting in the Ubuntu future.

It may be also very simple to just add a more comprehensive dialog in that windows during the upgrade process like this "The customized configuration file '/etc/default/apache2' is about to be replaced. This file can contain your preferences and the way you configured one of your programs. If you choose to replace the file by the new one, you may have to configure again this program. Do you want to replace this configuration file for the new one?"

This would be better, and I'm sure we can do much better!
