NAME

6       deb-conffiles - package conffiles
7

SYNOPSIS

9       conffiles
10

DESCRIPTION

12       A  package declares its list of conffiles by including a conffiles file
13       in its control archive (i.e. DEBIAN/conffiles during package creation).
14
15       This file contains a list of files,  one  per  line.   They  should  be
16       listed  as  absolute pathnames, and should exist in the binary package,
17       otherwise dpkg(1) will ignore them  (although  by  default  dpkg-deb(1)
18       will  refuse  to build such binary packages).  Trailing whitespace will
19       be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored.
