4.7.4. Sharing configuration files
----------------------------------
Only packages that are tagged _conflicting_ with each other may
specify the same file as `conffile'.
A package may not modify a conffile of another package.
Perhaps this last line should be changed to indicate that:
* the maintainer scripts should not alter the conffile of ANY package,
including the one the scripts belong to.
* the program itself in the package may modify the conffiles of other
packages (eg if the program is an editor or dotfiles-type package).
It may be better to leave this point out to avoid confusion.
