Simon, All,
The new approach seems fine to me; I haven't looked at the code. If Tom
doesn't feel like it's overly complicated, then this seems like a good
compromise.
The desire to move recovery.conf/trigger to a different directory is
definitely wanted by our Debian contingent. Right now, the fact that
Debian has all .confs in /etc/, but that it doesn't work to relocate
recovery.conf, is a constant source of irritation.
