I for one pledge the addition of a dpkg-register (or dpkg --register or
anything), bound with dpkg, that would allow maintainers to specify that
a file belongs to their package (it could be managed through postinsts,
via ucf...) The number of files under /etc that belong to no package (in
the sense of dpkg -S) makes it very hard to keep a clean system.
