Probably because there is a debian/conffiles file.
Right, lintian throws errors:
E: pptpd: duplicate-conffile etc/pptpd.conf
E: pptpd: duplicate-conffile etc/ppp/pptpd-options
E: pptpd: duplicate-conffile etc/init.d/pptpd
N: The file is listed more than once in your debian/conffiles file.
N: Usually, this is because debhelper (dh_installdeb, compat level 3 or
N: higher) will add any files in your package located in /etc automatically
N: to the list of conffiles, so if you do that manually too, you'll get
N: duplicates.

Lintian (and linda) report:
W: pptpd: executable-not-elf-or-script usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples/pptpd.conf
W: pptpd; Executable /usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples/pptpd.conf with perms 0755
is not an ELF file or script. (exec-not-elf-or-script)
In the source package we have debian/examples and
debian/pptpd.examples, not sure if this is the reason.
During build (with DH_VERBOSE) we see:
dh_installexamples -ppptpd
dh_installexamples: No compatibility level specified in debian/compat
dh_installexamples: This package will soon FTBFS; time to fix it!
dh_installexamples: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in
use)
install -d debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples
cp -a samples/chap-secrets debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples
cp -a samples/options.pptpd debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples
cp -a samples/pptpd.conf debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc/pptpd/examples
Not sure why this doesn't get fixed by dh_fixperms:
dh_fixperms
dh_fixperms: No compatibility level specified in debian/compat
dh_fixperms: This package will soon FTBFS; time to fix it!
dh_fixperms: Compatibility levels before 5 are deprecated (level 4 in use)
[..]
find debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc -type f ! -regex
'debian/pptpd/usr/share/doc/[^/]*/examples/.*' -print0 2>/dev/null | xargs -0r
chmod 644
But this doesn't affect the problem with the conffiles.
So back to the original issue. I tried to reproduce it manually in
the way that Andreas used piuparts:
- squeeze chroot
- install pptpd 1.3.4-5 from wheezy
- upgrade chroot to wheezy
md5sum of the 3 files is still the same. I guess the difference comes
from md5sum vs. debsums.
Ok, with piuparts and something like Andreas' command I get the same
debsums error.
Trying the same with 1.3.4-5.1 (with debian/conffiles removed) I
don't get this errors [0].
Summary:
- I'm not sure there really a (n RC) problem here since md5sum shows
the same result in the manual test.
- The difference shown by debsums is probably caused by the duplicate
conffiles.
- This problem can easily be fixed by "rm debian/conffiles".
Cheers,
gregor
