Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies conffiles.
This is forbidden by the policy, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files
  "[...] The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the
   configuration file a conffile. [...] This implies that the default
   version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be
   modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any
   other time)."

debsums reports modification of the following files:

  /etc/masonrc


cheers,

Andreas
