As Debathena was developed, some interesting software engineering challenges emerged. The Debathena developers came up with a number of cool hacks to work around these problems.
The config-package-dev framework is one of the more popular pieces of software to come out of the project, and is now available in the standard Debian and Ubuntu repositories. It provides a clean way to install configuration files in Debian packages while not overwriting existing customizations on individual machines, and affording machine administrators some flexibility. Visit the config-package-dev site for more information.
