I can't really answer that question. That's why I thought it would be important to warn the admin about this. We don't have policy mandating that the conffiles should have no effect when the package is removed, though that should be a general rule that was not taken into account in this particular case; I don't see a clearer solution other than this one and removing the file /etc/hotplug.d/default/default.hotplug. I don't really know the dynamics that cause this file to be ran anyway, so I think I'll have to do some more research if I am to find some better solution. I was just pointing out that purging is not the way to go. See ya, -- kov@debian.org: Gustavo Noronha <http://people.debian.org/~kov> Debian: <http://www.debian.org> * <http://www.debian-br.org>
