I think it's also fair to say that base-files is exactly a collection of the miscellaneous files and bootstrapping actions that no other package seems particularly responsible for, so if a new miscellaneous file or a new bootstrapping action appears, base-files seems a reasonably natural home for it (or at least, more natural than a package that contains non-bootstrapping code, for example bash or debianutils). smcv
