I will improve the protocol cruft-ng uses to parse the output of its explain/ add-on script.
So now we have: * some [a-zA-Z0-9...]: a package name to attribute files too. That overrides explain/[name] * /var ... : the individual volatile files There would be a third category: * @ /usr/lib/systemd/system/something.service : the core C code of cruft-ng will evaluate the owner of this file and subsequent listed files will be attributed to this package This way all the explain/ scripts can use this new facility with remplacementing "dpkg -S" lookup all over the place (I'm thinking of SERVICES and TMPFILES, maybe LOGROTATE).

It will call "dpkg -S" repeatedly. >
