Unpack-Level: 1

 package is correct.

Tag: file-in-usr-marked-as-conffile
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Info: Files below <tt>/usr</tt> may not be marked as conffiles, since
 <tt>/usr</tt> might be mounted read-only and thus, the local system
 administrator would not have a chance to modify this configuration
 file.

Tag: non-etc-file-marked-as-conffile
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Info: A file installed in some other directory than <tt>/etc</tt>
 is marked as conffile. A conffile typically implies a configuration file, and
 policy mandates such files to be in /etc
Ref: policy 10.7.2

Tag: relative-conffile
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Ref: policy E.1
Info: All entries in the <tt>debian/conffiles</tt> control file should
 have an absolute path specification.

Tag: duplicate-conffile
Severity: important
Certainty: certain
Info: The file is listed more than once in your <tt>debian/conffiles</tt> file.
 Usually, this is because debhelper (dh_installdeb, compat level 3 or higher)
 will add any files in your package located in /etc automatically to the list
 of conffiles, so if you do that manually too, you'll get duplicates.
