Comment 3 for bug 699925

This patch follows the Ubuntu policy manual, in particular section [10.7.3] <http://people.canonical.com/~cjwatson/ubuntu-policy/policy.html/ch-files.html#s10.7.3>.

The wishes.xml file found in the sources is a template file. The /etc/ginn/wishes file should not be overwritten by a package install (either via a deb package or a "make install" from the source tree) in case it has customizations in it. This is the safest course of action. If you are trying to overwrite the existing customizations to recover from an error, you can just manually copy the template file, either from /usr/share/ginn or from your local source tree.

One additional change that could be filed under a separate bug is to use a $HOME/.ginnrc file for user-local customizations.
