- In order to let gdm-config add the new diversions at approximately the same time that reactivate is dropping them, we can't use DEB_UNDIVERT_FILES, so write some more clever code of our own instead. (Because gdm-config's postinst was triggering before reactivate's, it was to trying and create the diversions before reactivate had removed them.)

09/18/09:
- 16:22 Changeset [24009] by
