These files are created by you answering choices in a configuration program - in this instance debconf. Just because it's run by postinst doesn't mean the packaging system should know about it. Running debconf is the equivalent to running something like xf86config, only it has a nice, unified frontend. > Is it not true that these should be accounted for? I don't see any reason why they should, no. Just creates headaches - what if you don't use Debconf to create them? -- Daniel Stone <dstone@trinity.unimelb.edu.au> Developer, Trinity College, University of Melbourne
