Package: gksu
Version: 2.0.0-4
Severity: normal
Hi,
I noticed that /etc/gksu.conf is an unexplained file for cruft. A "dpkg -S
/etc/gksu.conf" gives an error and it doesn't appear in the list of "dpkg -L
gksu". So is /etc/gksu.conf deprecated ? Can I safetly remove it ?
Thx for your work
Guillaume

dpkg is only aware of "conffile" files, as shipped in .deb, but it's
perfectly legal to install configuration files in the postinst, that is
to handle them outside of dpkg. A common tool to handle these is ucf,
grep ucf /var/lib/dpkg/info/*.postinst will give you some samples such
as /etc/gconf/2/path.
Closing.
