The file should probably go into /etc, then. > Should such conffiles be in /usr/share ? If not, where should they be? > It's currently symlinked into /etc but I don't much like that idea. What's the conffile and package? Sometimes packages put data into /usr/lib or /usr/share which includes a small part that may need to be locally configured. For example, the magic file may include small localizations. A good solution in that particular case is a magic.local file that goes into /etc and the main magic file stays in /usr/share. - Dan
