Well, entries in 15Plain.cnf and 45TeXinputs.cnf for jadetex
were from the original texmf.in so I wouldn' remove them
but I will certainly remove those in 95NonPath.cnf
By the way, please use the filename 96jadetex.cnf
if possible.
Our policy is (not official yet but)
Filenames of files in /etc/texmf/texmf.d/
They should be, for example 34foo.cnf, that is, with only lower case letters.
Upper case was reserved only for tetex-bin. This is not "must" condition
but this will make it easy for a user to find which files are basic and
which are additional.
They should be configuration files but not conffiles. If not, even after
removing your package, unnecessary entries will remain in texmf.cnf, so
this is critical. And you should rename them at removing and should
remove them at purging (and then, of course you should run update-texmf).
# I posted this to debian-devel lists sometimes ago.
kohda@nsx:~$ ls /etc/texmf/texmf.d/
05TeXMF.cnf 20ptex.cnf 30aflatex 60jbibtex.cnf 85Misc.cnf
15Plain.cnf 20ptexjtex.cnf 45TeXinputs.cnf 65BibTeX.cnf 95NonPath.cnf
20jtex.bak 20xmltex.cnf 55Fonts.cnf 70dvipsj 96xmltex
20multex.bak 20xmltex.dpkg-old 60jbibtex 75DviPS.cnf
Thanks for your cooperation, 2003-2-25(Tue)
