Hi,
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mime-support
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35 obsolete
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e obsolete

As it seems dpkg keeps track of conffiles in /var/lib/dpkg/status.
Here is an excerpt, watch out for the Conffiles sections:

`-----------------------------------------------------------------------
did a backup and manually removed the Conffiles section from pkg
mime-support.
Now i have:
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mime-support
[empty line, no output]
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' media-types
/etc/mime.types f4631d08bcc92bf2dde274696d7b4b35
% command dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' mailcap
/etc/mailcap.order ba07e08a7fe3741d0b8339127963190e
unless someone says that breaks s.th. i live with that.
Thanks.
kind regards,
Thilo
