I would prefer not to adopt UCF at the present time. I am not a fan of
packages where 'dpkg -S /etc/something.cfg' does not reveal the package
that owns the file. I'd prefer for dpkg's conffile-handling be fixed
instead of farming out management of the file to a separate tool.
With that said, it will probably take many years for dpkg to be improved
in this way, so I may take another look at ucf in the future. :)

I hope to have this done for the next release.

Great! Please let me know if run into and problems with the
packaging/configuration/deployment.
