Well, I do, in that coalesce is going to be more likely to break with different versions, and apt certainly can't check md5sums before even downloading.


Noone has yet pointed out a lib package with a conffile so lets stop
worrying about this.

They're not too hard to find. For example:

anthony@bohr:anthony$ dpkg -S /etc | tr ' ' '\n' | grep ^lib
libggi2,
libxt6,
libgii0,
libcupsys2,
libc6,
libao2,
libpam-runtime,
liborbit0,
libgtk2.0-common,
libgnome2-common,
libpango1.0-common,
libreadline4,
libgnomevfs2-common,
libbonobo2-common,
libldap2,
libpam-modules,
libfnlib0,
libgtk1.2-common,

OK, a bunch of those are -common, etc. so they won't actually be problems. The others, well, I wouldn't object to them gaining a -common.
