Again, the content on both my Testing host and my Unstable chroot
regularly get updated. They essentially track a rolling distribution,
one at testing, one at unstable. The test case in neither case is
stable to testing.
$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mime-support
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35 obsolete
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e obsolete
$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' media-types
/etc/mime.types 43fa90aa9a5e009997f451be169ac530
$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mailcap
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e
The specific command I used is this:
dpkg-query --show --showformat='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete
