superfluous /etc/network/if-up.d/mountnfs.orig in initscripts

[Timo Aaltonen]

Binary package hint: sysvinit

The initscripts package has carried an extra mountnfs.orig-script in /etc/network/if-up.d/ since version 2.86.ds1-14.1ubuntu26 (gutsy). Hardy has it, intrepid-> doesn't. It should be cleaned from the package, because it's run in addition to the proper script.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

it's an embarrassing leftover which should be removed sooner than later..

not found on intrepid or newer

Good idea, but this isn't complete. Since this is a conffile, it will continue to stay around (as an orphaned conffile) with this update. So this additionally needs a preinst snippet to remove the .orig conffile on upgrade to that fixed version (preferably only if it is unmodified). See http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling for a standard recipe.

[Timo Aaltonen (tjaalton)]

Even though mountnfs.orig is not listed in conffiles? The preinst already has code to do that, so it's pretty easy to do anyway.

[Martin Pitt (pitti)]

Right, as per our discussion in IRC that's fine. Sorry for the noise. Please go ahead and upload.
