I usually look over /var/lib/dpkg/status every release cycle and file bug reports for obsolete conffiles if I find them. Seems I must have overlooked that indeed back then :-) > Anyway, how do you usually deal with this thing?

Usually, you would just bump the version number to ensure the clean up routine is run again (in this case 0.88~). But given that this issue is indeed already pretty old and users who upgraded from stable → stable are not affected (oldstable has 0.73, stable has 0.85), I'd be fine if you just close this bug report. I'll leave this to your discretion. Regards, Michael -- Why is it that all of the instruments seeking intelligent life in the universe are pointed away from Earth?
