To replicate a Debian system we need to know which configuration files 
are replicable and which ones are not. The word replicable must be 
defined. One the definition is written in the policy we need to maintain 
a list of the non-replicable file so that the replicating system 
(whatever it is) know what files is not allowed to copy (and what files 
it needs to regenerate).
