Public bug reported:
Binary package hint: vmware-server
norman% lintian /var/cache/apt/archives/vmware-server_1.0.4-1feisty1_i386.deb
|grep conffile
E: vmware-server: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd
E: vmware-server: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile
/etc/vmware/pam.d/vmware-authd
E: vmware-server: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/vmware/state/config
E: vmware-server: file-in-etc-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/vmware/installer.sh

W: vmware-server: init.d-script-not-marked-as-conffile /etc/init.d/vmware-server
This means that if I modify, for example, /etc/pam.d/vmware-authd, my
changes are clobbered when I upgrade the package (this happened to me
when upgrading to 1.0.4-1feisty1, after working around bug 162907).
** Affects: vmware-server (Ubuntu)
