removing old conffiles on upgrade

Hi, I've just changed the directories of the conffile, binaries etc. to conform with Policy 3.5.5.0. The old conffile dir was /etc/X11/filerunner and the new one is /etc/filerunner and the problem is that when installing new package, and an older version is installed, dpkg gives an error message,

license question and problems

Hi, I have an ITP for a program (gdis, which is GPL) which requires another program (babel) whose license is a bit vague, at least to me. I intend to create binary for babel from the babel source in a sub directory of my package. I have e-mailed the authors of this program (babel) about my

/usr/share policy

Hi, I have a package, gstar, which places various lists of stars in /usr/share/starchart since gstar is a gtk front-end to the starchart programme. My question is: is there any policy or guidelines about naming stuff in in /usr/share? Should the dir be named /usr/share/gstar as that is the name
