Dear Maintainer,

checkinstall 1.6.2-4 does not tag conffiles of packages it creates as such.
Therefore, files of a created package in /etc will be deleted when the package
is removed.

This has already been reported for Ubuntu:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/checkinstall/+bug/1304760

A patch is attached to fix this problem.
