There are several ways to be consistent. One of them is making all init.d script conffiles even when they do not need to be. Another of them is make conffiles the scripts that need to be conffiles and not make them when they do not need it. I don't see the first way is more consistent than the second way. > Why are you so opposed to them being conffiles anyway, I am NOT opposed to them being conffiles.

Let's make a conffile every script in /usr/bin, then. -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: 2.6.3ia Charset: latin1 iQCVAgUBNJv/PyqK7IlOjMLFAQG0ogP+KL11e11BWA65Y3/e6IqNhMqgrdCFxHKy sozZSxz13/ihng8wje3rHGAcu0HXRgUbPLH+Zim2ZaYjlSLAJpnkUV/jvzyuaFjU lzExuWXKh7wmXJR4VH6s6WZI+Vb+i1TNQ2iN9O73JzUdPc0wD3v/KQOhtUYJREhd ShLdA5HNdVQ= =Nhni -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
