I for one pledge the addition of a dpkg-register (or dpkg --register or anything), bound with dpkg, that would allow maintainers to specify that a file belongs to their package (it could be managed through postinsts, via ucf...) The number of files under /etc that belong to no package (in the sense of dpkg -S) makes it very hard to keep a clean system. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-devel-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
