So what's the dpkg command that I can use in postinst to tell dpkg
that this file is not really obsolete but just a configuration file
which is not a conffile? Is there one such dpkg command?
Or are you suggesting that I fiddle with dpkg database directly?
(I hope not).
This seems more a dpkg bug/feature which affects base-files than
a base-files bug to me.
