Some further discussion about the role of this file is in #861218
(https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=861218#15 in particular).
Though, I haven't thought/researched much about how policy applies
in this particular case.

Sounds like a file that should not have been placed in /etc and
should be removed from /etc during upgrades.

It's not really clear that this file constitutes either a conffile
or a configuration file -- it contains information that is globally
true (not site- or host-specific), does not affect the operation of
a program, and is not intended to be modified by the system administrator.

Policy indicates that old conffiles should be removed on upgrade:

I'm not actually sure I particularly want it removed from the system.
It's fair that it should be removed on purge though and I'll at least do
that.

2017-07-12 Thread Sven Joachim 
Package: libgssapi-krb5-2
Version: 1.15.1-1

The latest upload dropped /etc/gss/mech.d/README from the package but
failed to assure that it's also removed from the system:

,
| $ dpkg -S /etc/gss/mech.d/README
| libgssapi-krb5-2:i386: /etc/gss/mech.d/README
| $ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep /etc/gss/mech.d/README
|  /etc/gss/mech.d/README 27e753ba1dc72900d2892b8efef6e35e obsolete
`

See dh_installdeb(1) and dpkg-maintscript-helper(1) for how to remove
obsolete conffiles.
