Niels Thykier made me aware of dh_installdeb -D. Using it avoids the need for a pile of .in files in base-files. I hope you like this refactoring. Let me know if not.
Nice feature indeed. To simplify the usr-merge patch, I've adopted the -D change in debian/postinst *before* we apply the usr-merge patch. Please take a look at branch "wip-202404-usrmerge" here: https://salsa.debian.org/sanvila/base-files-not-yet/-/tree/wip-202404-usrmerge?ref_type=heads (The repository name speaks for itself... I'm still not comfortable enough with salsa, but I'd like to experiment and see how it goes). I've rebased the patch relative to version 13.1 which I have just uploaded. If the rebase is ok, I'd like to make some minor editorial changes there as well. Thanks.
