Package: fail2ban
Version: 0.9.6-2
Severity: normal
Hi.
Apparently the package used to contain:
/etc/fail2ban/action.d/iptables-blocktype.conf
but no longer does.
This file was however not properly cleaned up.
Could you please to so in one of the next versions, so that
people will get the clean up? :-)
Thanks,
Chris.

we provide those with upstream distribution. Although not applicable to
Debian, I do not see any harm and thus no need to prune them from
installation. Someone might even argue they might be useful to compare.
You could find plenty of other packages keeping similar files around
(eg. do dpkg -S opensuse )
As for blocktype -- it is no longer shipped within package:
$> dpkg -L fail2ban | grep blocktype
we wouldn't remove it for you -- what if you modified configuration and still
use it? for you to decide/remove
altogether I do not see anything to be done on my end, thus closing
