deb-conffiles(5) dpkg suite deb-conffiles(5)
NAME
deb-conffiles - package conffiles
SYNOPSIS
conffiles
DESCRIPTION
A package declares its list of conffiles by including a conffiles file in its control archive (i.e. DEBIAN/conffiles during package
creation).
This file contains a list of files, one per line. They should be listed as absolute pathnames, and should exist in the binary package,
otherwise dpkg(1) will ignore them (although by default dpkg-deb(1) will refuse to build such binary packages). Trailing whitespace will
be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored.
