There's a real need to change the definition of conffiles then. Because having not configuration files like READMEs in /etc is not useful and in fact causes lots of problems. The definition of conffiles I'd like to use would be: A conffile is a file where the user changed anything from system default. With this definition READMEs and keybinding standard data files should be in /usr since the user didn't change them from the default. Prueba el Nuevo Correo Terra; Seguro, Rápido, Fiable.
