moving conf files

[Richard Hector <rhector@paradise.net.nz>]

I think this is a general question though I have a specific example.

I want to move my webalizer config file from /etc/webalizer.conf
to /etc/webalizer/*.conf to deal with different configs for different
virtual hosts, as suggested in the Webalizer FAQ.

However I'm worried that this will confuse dpkg etc - I don't want
a new conf file to be put there when I upgrade webalizer.

If so, are there tricks I can use (like leaving a dummy file there) to
work around this?

Similar issues will perhaps arise from modifying
/etc/cron.daily/webalizer, though modifying one existing file shouldn't
be so much of a hassle I guess.

Thanks,

Richard
