Package: highlight-common
Version: 2.16-1
Justification: policy §10.7.3

Hi,

From today's upgrade:

| Unpacking highlight-common (from .../highlight-common_2.16-1_all.deb) ...
| Setting up highlight-common (2.16-1) ...
| 
| Configuration file `/etc/highlight/filetypes.conf'
|  ==> Deleted (by you or by a script) since installation.
|  ==> Package distributor has shipped an updated version.
|    What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
|     Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
|     N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
|       D     : show the differences between the versions
|       Z     : start a shell to examine the situation
|  The default action is to keep your current version.
| *** filetypes.conf (Y/I/N/O/D/Z) [default=N] ? 

Indeed:

| $ ls -l /etc/highlight
| total 4
| -rw-r--r-- 1 root root 1758 Apr  2  2010 filetypes.conf.dpkg-new
| $

I do not recall touching that file myself, so it looks like a bug (as
policy §10.7.3 explains, conffiles are not supposed to be modified or
removed by scripts).

Any ideas for tracking this down?

Thanks for highlight. :)  I've been hoping to use it for
syntax-highlighting in my local gitweb instance some day soon.

Regards,
Jonathan
