Bug#868099: rkhunter: clean up legacy conffile

Uhm... sorry... not really...
Perhaps something like backuping the current file, then using dpkg-
maintscript-helper rm_conffile to remove the conffile, and then move
the backup back as manually managed file.

But really better ask at d-d on how to do it... there is likely a
proper way for it and the above is easily prone to /tmp attacks and so.


Cheers,
Chris.

Do you know what the correct to do this is?

Package: rkhunter
Version: 1.4.2-6
Severity: normal


Hi.

Apparently the package used to contain:
/etc/default/rkhunter
as a dpkg conffile but no longer does and ships it manually managed instead.

This file was however not properly cleaned up as conffile and is still marked 
as such.
Could you please to so in one of the next versions, so that
people will get the clean up? :-)

Thanks,
Chris.
