NAME

       deb-conffiles - package conffiles

SYNOPSIS

       conffiles

DESCRIPTION

       A  package  declares  its  list  of  conffiles by including a conffiles file in its control archive (i.e.
       DEBIAN/conffiles during package creation).

       This file contains a list of files, one per line.  They should  be  listed  as  absolute  pathnames,  and
       should  exist  in the binary package, otherwise dpkg(1) will ignore them (although by default dpkg-deb(1)
       will refuse to build such binary packages).  Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, and empty lines will be
       ignored.

       /etc/dpkg/dpkg.cfg

SEE ALSO

       dpkg-deb(1), dpkg(1).
