[Bug 1873519] Re: Package should own adduser.conf

[Chris Carlin]

** Description changed:

- Right now /etc/adduser.conf is generated by a postinst script, which
- means the file doesn't end up getting listed as owned by adduser.
+ /etc/adduser.conf isn't recorded as belonging to the package, but this
+ is addressed easily by adding adduser.conf to the debian/install file.
+ 
+ adduser.conf is generated by a postinst script, so it isn't covered by
+ the normal install stuff. Regardless, it seems to become registered by
+ just adding it to the install file on the same line as deluser.conf,
+ which is already there.
  
  I often customize deployments using the config-package-dev extension to
  Debhelper, but this relies on package ownership to manage config files.
  
- Maybe this is an easy request, to add /etc/adduser.conf as an owned file
- instead of a generated one? It seems odd that it isn't owned already.
+ Hopefully this is a trivial suggestion.
