I actually think that the solution is correct and the conffiles should be removed when updating from 0.9.0 or earlier. This ensures the upgrade path from jessie is clean. The 0.9.1…-1 version does actually not have the config files itself. It might be arguable that we may want to ensure that every mistake gets cleaned up at some point, but I personally would trade the leftover files on the few machines that had the chance to get the -1 version for reaability of the maintscript file and it conveying what was meant to be done. I expect users of unstable to be able to remove the files themselves if they want, so as long as the upgrade path from jessie is clean, I think it's alright. -nik -- PGP-Fingerprint: 3C9D 54A4 7575 C026 FB17 FD26 B79A 3C16 A0C4 F296 Dominik George · Hundeshagenstr. 26 · 53225 Bonn Mobile: +49-1520-1981389 · https://www.dominik-george.de/ Teckids e.V. · FrOSCon e.V.
