Comment 7 for bug 1599171

Concerning file ownership, my comment was intended to refer to the possibility of putting the files in our package under /etc/maas/preseeds/curtin_userdata (etc.). Keeping them where they've traditionally been in our package and then copying and modifying them via a post-install script avoids the problem of conflicting package "ownership" of the files.

Your patch seems to have worked around the remaining two issues -- maybe they weren't as deep as I'd originally thought, or maybe you're just brilliant, Jeff. ;-) Still, we may need to be alert to possible new problems, should a corner case crop up that's not been tested.

Also, and more importantly, I think we'll still need some ongoing maintenance and updates to the maniacs-setup script and to the maas-cert-server package that may interact with this issue, as noted in my earlier reply.
