Hmmm...  I'm actually interested in exactly the opposite problem.  I'm
following Marcin's suggestion that I create a ts5500-config package,
and put ts5500 specific configuration files there.  These files will,
of course, replace the configuration files created by other packages
(I'm particularly thinking of pcmciautils here, as the default
/etc/pcmcia/config.opts comes straight from upstream).  I want to be
sure my configuration file is put into the image second.
