If I were worried about configuring the contents of
/bin/ls, I'd be set.  :)

# dpkg -S /etc/network/interfaces
dpkg: /etc/network/interfaces not found.

# dpkg -S /etc/resolv.conf       
dpkg: /etc/resolv.conf not found.

# dpkg -S /etc/hosts
dpkg: /etc/hosts not found.

# dpkg -S /etc/hostname
dpkg: /etc/hostname not found.

# dpkg -S /etc/passwd
dpkg: /etc/passwd not found.
