Public bug reported:

Edgy - checkinstall 1.6.0-2ubuntu1
/etc/checkinstall

Dapper - checkinstall 1.5.3-3ubuntu2
/etc/checkinstall

Dapper backport - checkinstall 1.6.0-2ubuntu1~dapper1
2 config files
/etc/checkinstall
/etc/checkinstallrc

Debian sid - checkinstall 1.6.0-2
/etc/checkinstallrc

The upstream source's Makefile (for both 1.5.3 and 1.6.0) puts them in
/usr/local/lib/checkinstall.

The man page lists /etc/checkinstallrc as the config file.

Note I have the dapper backport installed. I checked the locations of
the config files in the other packages via their list-of-files page in
the online package database.

It looks like the config file changed names from /etc/checkinstall in
1.5.3  to /etc/checkinstallrc in 1.6.0 in the debian packages.

** Affects: checkinstall (Ubuntu)
     Importance: Untriaged
