I disagree with the following part: > If any package has a > large number of configuration files, (like, for example, inn does), > then a package specific subdirectory under /etc/news should be used > (example: /etc/news/suck or /etc/news/inn).
For two reasons: Firstly, news systems are not going to have so many files that /etc/news becomes unmanageable. Putting things in subdirectories will simply make them hard to find. There is little danger of clashing configuration files, and this can be avoided with a little care. Secondly, the INN package already puts its files in /etc/news directly. Moving configuration files is an error-prone and fragile business. We should leave the files where they are. Ian.
