list generated conffiles?

[Dan Jacobson]

 Shouldn't all the files in /etc/lynx-cur be listed, and as conffiles?
 $ dlocate /etc/lynx-cur/|wc -l
 1
 $ ls /etc/lynx-cur/|wc -l
 21

A I believe no, they shouldn't be listed.

A Only /etc/lynx-cur/lynx.cfg is shipped with the package
A (so conffile) but the rest are generated with postinst
A of lynx-cur-wrapper (so they are configuration files).

Should I file a bug against
$ man dlocate
  -conf  list conffiles in package
saying to mention in the man page the cases when conffiles might not
be listed?

conffile != configuration file [1].

Please don't file a bogus bug about this.
