Seems like I managed to say everything on the subject... ;-) Seriously, shouldn't the config files go in /etc/autofs/? It's auto.master, and auto.misc right now, but I'd like to have auto.home for several reasons, and /etc is becoming too crowded here.
I understand there's a "SUN does it this way" type-of-argument here, but I honestly think that if there's an option between /etc/many_files and /etc/something/many_files, the later should be always chosen. Outstanding exceptions are files like /etc/services, /etc/hosts*, ... Please post follow-ups to debian-policy Marcelo
