Whether or not an application runs *without* a file is not any sort of criteria for whether it is a conffile. Rather, conffiles are files which are considered modifyiable by the sysadmin under *normal* circumstances, and in which you would like these local changes to be preserved across upgrades. That's the crucial thing to understand. If the file is not recognized as a conffile by dpkg, then local changes will *not* be preserved across updates of the package. If this is a bad state of affairs, then the file should be in /etc and marked as a conffile. -- .....A. P.
