Htdig's english wordlist

[Stijn de Bekker <stijn@debian.org>]

Hi,


I've just taken over the htdig package and now I'm going through the
outstanding bugs. My question relates to bugs #74523 and #104607.


The htdig package uses an english wordlist which is now located in
/etc/htdig/ - just a list of english words. Changing this file changes
the behaviour of htdig. According to the Debian policy, it should
therefore be a conffile (11.7.1):

   "A file that affects the operation of a program, or provides site-
  or host-specific information, or otherwise customizes the behavior
  of a program."


The htdig wordlist is 930 kB and pretty big for in /etc. The package
wenglish contains a similar list of english words, only smaller (45392
vs 87536 words).


Should I modify htdig that it uses the system-wide list?



Stijn.
