Hi,
Why? Isn't that handled 'almost' like replacing it with an empty file?
No. Replacing it with an empty file will cause dpkg to notice it's a config file, and so replace it only if un-modified on the target host, ask otherwise.
Removing would have to be done manually from the maintainer scripts, instead,
Isn't that a bug/missing feature in the package management system?
And wouldn't it be better to replace it with an empty file so it's 'fixed' in testing->testing upgrades too?
and to ask I would need to use debconf, which would add unneeded complexity to the package (particularly considering this is a bug in testing->testing upgrade, and not in stable->stable).
