I really don't know what's the problem with the package.  Here is my
debian/conffiles:
-----
/etc/csh.cshrc
/etc/csh.login
/etc/csh.logout
-----

Do I need to also run some command in this file (dpkg-genconffiles or
something similar)?  I install them with the following commands:
[from debian/rules, section binary-arch]
-----
        install -o root -g root -m 644 debian/csh.cshrc \
                        debian/tmp/etc/csh.cshrc
        install -o root -g root -m 644 debian/csh.login \
                        debian/tmp/etc/csh.login
        install -o root -g root -m 644 debian/csh.logout \
                        debian/tmp/etc/csh.logout

What am I doing wrong?  Please help me (and users).

TIA,
Vadik.
