Re: Bug#4746: tcsh overwrites /etc/csh.{login,cshrc,logout}



  Erick> Shouldn't it be debian/DEBIAN/conffiles ?

No. See Section 3.2.6 of the Programmer's manual:

  3.2.6 debian/tmp

   This is the canonical temporary location for the construction of
   binary packages by the binary target. The directory tmp serves as the
   root of the filesystem tree as it is being constructed (for example,
   by using the package's upstream makefiles install targets and
   redirecting the output there), and it also contains the DEBIAN
   subdirectory. See Creating package files - dpkg-deb, section 2.1.

   If several binary packages are generated from the same source tree it
   is usual to use several debian/tmpsomething directories, for example
   tmp-a or tmp-doc.

   Whatever tmp directories are created and used by binary must of course
   be removed by the clean target.
