Hi Andreas,

1m24.8s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
  debsums: missing file /etc/news/motd.news (from inn2 package)

I couldn't find the deletion in the maintainer scripts, so it's probably
done by something something that is run from the maintainer scripts.

As the wheezy package no longer ships this file as a conffile, this looks
like an intentional deletion, but to do this properly and record it in
dpkg's database accordingly, please use
  dpkg-maintscript-helper rm_conffile
(ideally via debian/inn2.maintscript).

The file /etc/news/motd.news is renamed to /etc/news/motd.nnrpd by the
innupgrade script shipped by upstream.

According to changelog for INN 2.5.3 :

"Add support for LIST MOTD in innd.  Consequently, the motd.news
configuration file which was previously used only by nnrpd is renamed
to motd.nnrpd (innupgrade takes care of the rename).  innd uses the new
motd.innd file in pathetc for its message of the day."


Should this renaming by upstream be marked as a removal in the maintainter scripts?
