What "apt-cache showsrc ..." says doesn't matter. The point is what the Debian Policy says. If it isn't followed and some new package creates a /etc/default/... file that clashes with some other package because of that, there would be a problem (with potential data loss). The fact that the filename is close to the package name is not sufficient to avoid problems. -- Vincent Lefèvre <vinc...@vinc17.net> - Web: <http://www.vinc17.net/> 100% accessible validated (X)HTML - Blog: <http://www.vinc17.net/blog/> Work: CR INRIA - computer arithmetic / Arénaire project (LIP, ENS-Lyon) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-user-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
