Reading Mandrake HOWTO I got impression that file marked as
%config(missingok) is not required to exist at package build time - as
implied by sentence "The %config(missingok) is frequently used for files
like /etc/rc.d/rc2.d/S55named where the (non-)existence of the symlink
is part of the configuration in %post,". But it does not work this way,
if I try to add non-existent file I get an error that file does not
exist ;-)

%files
%defattr(-,root,root)
/tmp/foobar
%config(missingok) /tmp/barbar

so when this is used (useful)?
