A few notes:

I don't think we would generally consider changes like this to a
released kernel, so this should probably be applied to maverick. If we
do want to put it in lucid, it makes sense to first put it in maverick
anyways. As a side note, because we maintain many branches of releases,
it helps to prepend the email subject line with "[MAVERICK]" so everyone
knows what the patch is for.

There's a lot of whitespace changes here. If you meant to introduce
formatting changes, it's best to do so as a separate patch. If not, then
your editor may be munging things. The inlined diff was munged as well.
If you're using evolution, check that when you insert the text the style
dropdown box is changed from Normal to Preformatted.

I took your patch, applied it to ubuntu-maverick, then did a "git diff
-w HEAD^" to take a look at what really changed:


Now I can better tell what's going on :). This seems good to me. The
previous behavior is maintained (press enter to edit the config file),
while giving the user the option to skip editing if they know nothing
should change. If you can resend a patch like this with only the salient
changes I will ACK it. When you do, please check that your indentation
style matches the style used throughout the rules files. I'm not sure
the above is conforming.

Thanks,
