I do everything from a debootstrap, so I'll leave live images and the
like to others.

I actually didn't have to worry about conffiles; since I am based on the
Jessie udev version and changed little, all of the conffiles are (should
be? I think I checked) the same when a user up/sidegrades. Also, (e)udev
sticks so much stuff under /lib instead of /etc that there are not even
a lot considered conffiles to get updated.

The only "conf"file that is any different in my eudev systemd fork is a
one-line change in the udev initscript. (I love that an executable is
considered a configuration file.)


I don't know if you should purge conffiles on an install, anyway. Isn't
that kind of the point in checksumming them and treating them
differently than other files in a package install? That they won't get
blown away? I guess I don't quite know the precedent on this.
