BTW, what is Debian's purpose on keeping conffiles around? Is there
value in having config info for nonexisting packages? (Should I not
be worried about leaving sudoers files in the sudoers.d directory?)
A package might be removed only temporarily or in error, and be
reinstalled again later. In that case the admin will be happy to find
their carefully tweaked config files instead of having to re-create
them from scratch (or grab them from a backup or an older git
revision).
And in general conffiles lying around in /etc/ don't hurt.
Ah, I guess that makes sense.
Thanks!
