Hmm, if both packages contain exactly the same files (only some in different flavours) you could remove the conflict. A package that replaces *all* files of another one will make the old package "disappear", and (according to policy at least) that should do the right thing for conffiles, too. The second alternative is to somehow fix this case in the package scripts. Not too pretty workaround, but doable since you control both packages. Third, and probably cleanest, is the option to simply stop shipping different config files (they are different, are they?) under the same name. /etc/webmin-ssl/* and /etc/init.d/webmin-ssl should work fine. -- Robbe
