Bug#336714: tetex-base: asked about upgrade of previously non-existent conffile /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc

[Hamish Moffatt <hamish@debian.org>]

Package: tetex-base
Version: 3.0-10
Severity: normal

When upgrading to tetex-base 3.0-10, I was asked about my changes to
the file /etc/texdoctk/texdocrc through ucf. When I asked to see the
differences against my installed version, the diff was against /dev/null
so every line was new.

I did not delete the previous version of this file, and did not even
know it existed. This package or another either removed it or failed
to install it. However, I shouldn't have been asked about it.

thanks
Hamish
