Another thing to consider is whether it should register just a single file, or a pattern of some description (a shell glob, a regexp or something else). This would allow a package to register, say, /usr/lib/python*/*.py[co] . Another thing to consider is whether its desirable for this to be dynamic, or whether it would be better to just mirror the debian/conffiles in some way. This feature would make the cruft package much more effective, fwiw. Cheers, aj -- Anthony Towns <aj@humbug.org.au> <http://azure.humbug.org.au/~aj/> I don't speak for anyone save myself.
