Package: synergy Version: 1.3.1-5 Severity: important

Synergy should ask user:

a) if this instance is going to be a server or client, b) ask for screen configuration.

Then, via postinst, I guess, 1) create the appropriate synergy.conf 2) add itself to the relevant X related scripts, as suggested on the UNIX section on http://synergy2.sourceforge.net/autostart.html

severity 596831 wishlist thanks

Setting up a Synergy configuration via debconf will be a lot of work, and I'm definitely not convinced it's needed. And without such configuration, there's no way it would be appropriate to add Synergy to the X configuration.

Feel free to provide a set of patches to provide this functionality.
