Hi,
I do not think that packages should be putting conffiles in
user home directories, even if the user is root. So far, the files in
root have been 2 or 3 lines long; I do not see why they should be
longer, but even longer files in .toot/,bash* could be created in the
postinst wothout ugly droppings in the /root directory.
I think /root is akin to /home/root except that root's home
has to be on the root partition.
There is no need for conffiles in /root; I'd be happy to
provide patches to the postinst if the maintainer feels unsure about
coding it.
