Bug#513408: buildd.emdebian.org: Replacing config packages with multistrap
Package: buildd.emdebian.org
Severity: normal
config packages are generally a bad idea and need to be restricted and replaced by multistrap.
In particular, config packages should not contain files outside /usr/share/doc/ because these files are removed when the config package is upgraded.
config packages should not have dependencies - these should be handled by multistrap instead.
config packages should only operate via the postinst maintainer script.
