Bug#92594: configuration files should be moved to /etc

[Jochen Voss <voss@mathematik.uni-kl.de>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20000804-7
Severity: normal

The tetex-base package contains several files, which are
configuration files, but which are not installed under /etc.
This violates section 11.7.2 of the debian policy.

For example /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/geometry.cfg
contains the lines

    %% You can uncomment and edit the line below to set default options.
    %%\ExecuteOptions{a4paper,dvips}

so it seems that this is intended to be a configuration file.

I think the same problem may apply to other files, too.
For example the files

    /usr/share/texmf/etex/plain/config/language.def
    /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/seminar.con
    /usr/share/texmf/context/config/texexec.ini
    /usr/share/texmf/tex/latex/config/color.cfg

seem to be candidates.
