So you think debhelper would add postinst code to make sure those directories are present? Because I see no other way the build system would affect the outcome. > This is likely more globaly usefull than implemeting manual > filtering of missing files in cruft/cruft-ng I found more use cases in the meantime... - /etc/python2.7/sitecustomize.py doesn't get created on upgrade/reinstall - the glib problem/bug sometimes also triggers with /usr/share/glib-2.0/schemas - sometimes I explicitly don't want a config file to be present (signalled by renaming it to FOO.dpkg-dist). For example init scripts when I only want the binary, not the service. Or the many exim config snippets you don't want to activate. cheers, Stefan
