Yes, the file is in data.tar.gz, and is mentioned in conffiles so that it can be treated as a conf files. > > > In debian/, I only have a md5sums files, with md5sums for all files, a > > control file, and the conffile.

Yes, if the conf files are mentioned in the conffiles, they are not installed, this is my problem. But if I won't create that connfile, than the file from /etc will be treated like any other file (and when I upgrade, the file from /etc will be overwritten, and I don't want that).
