But be aware that if you use dh_installdeb, all files installed in /etc will be flagged as confiles: ,----dh_installdeb(1) | In V3 compatibility mode and higher, all files in the etc/ directory | in a package will auto matically be flagged as conffiles by this | program, so there is no need to list them manually in | package.conffiles. `---- If there's no way to override this, one can instead copy them there in postinst.
