I mean it happens every now and then that maintainers forget to properly handle old config files, which they do then in on of the next releases - what's the difference if there is two weeks in between or 4 years? There should be dh helper routines to mark such file obsolete, and if its there it's removed and if not nothing happens. Otherwise all people who ever had gnome-panel-data installed will live with stale: /etc/dbus-1/system.d/org.gnome.ClockApplet.Mechanism.conf /etc/dbus-1/system.d/ /etc/dbus-1/ forever. Cheers, Chris.
