PLease see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files , section 10.7.2. Since hparm uses a single configuration file, it appears to me that it is not required by policy, and it is also needless pain to move it. If I ever do use more than one file, I will certainly go through the pain of migrating on that day. Now, what to do with the bug report? It appears to me that policy says to put files in /etc, and make a subdirectory if there are many. Since the second part does not apply, I am inclined to say I'm following policy pretty much exactly, and just close the report. However, I will wait to hear from you. Take care, and thanks for reporting, -- ----------------------------------------------------------------- | ,''`.
