Yes, they should be installed. If the user installs logcheck
after he installed a package containing some files in
/etc/logcheck/*.d/ it will just work.
There are many examples where this is done already, eg
/usr/lib/menu/, /etc/devfs/*.d, /etc/X11/Xsession.d,
/etc/emacs/site-start.d, /etc/ppp/ip-{up,down}.d,
/etc/network/if-pre-up.d, /etc/network/if-up.d,
/etc/network/if-down.d, /etc/network/if-post-down.d,
/etc/logrotate.d, /etc/apm/resume.d, /etc/apm/suspend.d,
/etc/apm/event.d.
$ (echo /usr/lib/menu; find /etc/ -name \*.d)|xargs du -c
says 516k here, not that much really, and not worth any
complicated handling by dpkg.
ciao, 2ri, who didn't have germknödel with much butter and poppy
for a long time ... ;)
