Bug#175457: tetex-base wants to remove conffiles, no preservation of user change, nor any details
Package: tetex-base
Version: 1.0.2+20021025-3
Severity: normal
Hi,
Old conffiles which tetex-base shipped out were found. It is strongly
recommended to remove these files right now!
No details on what files we are talking about. No attempt made to
edtermine if the user had made any changes, and of these changes could be
preserved. No rationale given as to why it is recommended to remove these
files, whatever they are.
This goes against the grain for the Derbian standard behaviour, in
which we give the end user control, and try to preserve their configuration.
