Bug#2717: conffiles in /usr
Package: (general)
Conffiles do not belong into /usr , because a Debian system should be
prepared to have a write-only /usr.
The guidelines say :
Typically, files listed in conffiles are package-specific
configuration files, which (according to the Linux Filesystem
Standard) are stored in `/etc'.
