Hello, I have a question regarding the handling of locally modified conffiles on package upgrades.
When I installed a new version of a self-written native package, I noticed that I was not asked whether I wanted to keep or replace a configuration file that I had modified locally. After the upgrade, my modified version was still in place and there was no *.dpkg-dist. The file resides in a subdirectory of /etc, and seems to be recognized as a conffile: It gets removed by apt-get purge but not by apt-get remove. Using dpkg-deb -c, I verified that the file is part of the new package. I'm running a fairly generic installation of Debian wheezy. What might I be missing?
