I do (using sid). If its not there you will have to create it. Here's what's in mine: # dpkg configuration file # # This file can contain default options for dpkg. All commandline # options are allowed. Values can be specific by putting them after # the option, seperated by whitespace and/or an `=' sign. # no-debsig I'd skip the "force-overwrite" option from the example! -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
