Documentation for kolab.conf

[Daniel Hoffend]

And this is one of the major problems! A vanilla installation is getting 
shipped with this configuration file (Torsten linked). During the 
setup-kolab process this file (same applies to roundcube and other 
configuration files as well) is getting replaced by the generated 
version using your credentials and settings.

This leads to the fact that you don't have the original example 
configuration any more on your system and you've to fall back to the 
documentation and then more likely digg into the git system to find it.

I one of my previous mails I suggest rename ALL configuration files in 
Git or in the OBS package definition to be named kolab.conf.dist etc. 
After your setup is done you still have the original configuration files 
and can compare them with your current config.

Same applies to upgrades. You then always have the current .conf and the 
default .conf.dist file laying side-by-side and can compare them. I know 
Redhat/Centos and Debian have different ways how configuration files are 
beeing handled during an update, but the approach of deliver .conf.dist 
files would be distribution independent. This way you don't lose your 
current configuration if you accidentally press "Yes" during an upgrade 
and replace a configuration file without looking at it (applies to 
Debian only of course). But this would be a major design change I guess.
