If you use rm_conffile then the conffile will be removed, which is definitely not what you'd want when taking over ownership from another package. Having the conffile marked as obsolete in the database should at most be untidy cruft, perhaps confusing to users, but the tools should all handle that fine (otherwise they are buggy and should be fixed). > Some days ago I had to do another conffile move in xapp (package split to > solve a policy issue) e one also in freeipmi, I searched and asked on irc > for a solution to avoid the "obsolete conffile issue" but not found for now > :( Or is there any other issue with these conffiles being marked as obsolete that has not been reported?
