Bug#158694: Template files should be conffiles.
Some of the files in /etc (such as /etc/fstab) are created by
parsing entries in /usr/lib/diskless-image/template with m4. If they
were directly in /etc they might cause trouble to some programs that
tried to parse them while in a chroot environment in the host machine.
To keep them m4-parseable and allow them to be modified and kept, I
think the template directory should be moved to some subdirectory
under /etc and the files be marked as conffiles.
Regards,
Ivan
