Dear mentors! I am new in Debian Package Maintaining. I try to build some packages for my own to get a feeling how everything works. I have read a few docs[1][2] to find a solution for a specific problem that bugs me since days now...
I would have asked the pkg-ntp-maintainers list for help but Chapter 10 of the Debian New Maintainers' Guide[3] tells me to ask here first.. I hope it's correct and somebody can help... So here is my problem: I've been trying to figure out how the installation process of the package "ntpdate" works. After installation the configuration file "/etc/default/ntpdate" is created. But: I can not find any evidence of it being used throughout the whole debian directory in the source-package. Actually there IS THE file in "debian/ntpdate.default" but is never refered in the rules file or elsewhere. I believe it has something to do with .default suffix but I was not able to find any docs about what and how it is going on. So where does the magic happen? Thanks for any help!
