I agreed, too :)
Note, that when we last discussed this topic I finally came up with some
definitions of the terms `conffile' and `configuration file' that everyone
agreed with. Fixing the manuals in this respect is already on my policy
TO-DO list and I'll do so soon. (I'll post the new definitions of these
terms here for approval first.)
I'll report to debian-policy as soon as I had time to dig into this issue
again and as I've prepared the necessary changes/fixes.
Thanks,
Chris
