Thanks. Now, what about one package moving another's configuration files? I suppose that might count as illegal. Specifically.. xpdf-lang-* provide files in /etc/xpdf. These packages all depend on xpdf-common. I would like to change how these are managed a little and move them all to /etc/xpdf.d. Can I have xpdf-common move xpdf-lang-*'s conffiles? The other alternative is to have a newer xpdf-common conflict with every one of the current xpdf-lang-* packages, and update the versions of each of them. That could work too; I maintain them all so it's possible.
