Package: base-files
Version: 6.12
Severity: normal

Hi Santiago,

I forked base-files for a derivative and I added a file to origins/
because that's what I'm supposed to do... the resulting package
has a lintian errors:

E: base-files: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile etc/dpkg/origins/kali
W: base-files: file-missing-in-md5sums etc/dpkg/origins/kali

This is because the list of conffiles is hardcoded in debian/conffiles
while the norm is to let dh_installdeb generate that file.

I don't really understand why you haven't modernized the rules with
debhelper...
