Sorry, but I do not understand the problem. What config files are you
talking about? What is "upgrade-system"? I'm using the command
`deborphan` itself just to learn what package might be a potential
candidate for removal. From time to time I'm using
apt purge `deborphan`
but well, that's users responsibility. To learn what is really a "bug"
we need more information that this quoted mail.
Kind regards
Andreas.
