9 Tag: file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile
12 Info: Files below <tt>/usr</tt> may not be marked as conffiles, since
13 <tt>/usr</tt> might be mounted read-only and thus, the local system
14 administrator would not have a chance to modify this configuration
17 Tag: non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile
20 Info: A file installed in some other directory than <tt>/etc</tt>
21 is marked as conffile. A conffile typically implies a configuration file, and
22 policy mandates such files to be in /etc
25 Tag: relative-conffile
29 Info: All entries in the <tt>debian/conffiles</tt> control file should
30 have an absolute path specification.
32 Tag: duplicate-conffile
35 Info: The file is listed more than once in your <tt>debian/conffiles</tt> file.
36 Usually, this is because debhelper (dh_installdeb, compat level 3 or higher)
37 will add any files in your package located in /etc automatically to the list
38 of conffiles, so if you do that manually too, you'll get duplicates.
