You should never need to list files in /etc as conffiles, as they're detected and a conffiles written out at package build time (because Policy says all files in /etc are conffiles). You'll almost certainly get better help if you post your source package somewhere for other people to examine, or at least provide a representative sample which demonstrates the problem you're seeing. - Matt -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
