I have question which is directly related: shouldn't a package own and
declare all the configuration files that it uses, even if it doesn't
install or modify it?
* If one purges a package, then reinstall it, then he/she wants to have
a maintainer's behavior.
* Two packages that uses the same configuration files should either :
- agree on the file's format, and know who manage the file (so the
second program [Depends|Recommend|Suggest] on the first package,
that own the file),
- or "Conflict" with each other.
/me put on my post-lenny TODO list to send a patch for the policy, and
submit a patch for lintian.
