I of course agree with Marco. BTW, "conffiles" is a pretty bad name. It's confusing, as you can see once more. I thought about calling it "dpkg-conffiles" which has the advantage of underlying that we leave the handling of the file to the responsibility of dpkg, keeps the same old "conffiles" name. But people will continue to use the older short version of it, so... Anyone with a better idea? Thomas
