The description for the Lintian tag conffile-is-not-in-package states
that it is a packaging error to list a file in conffiles when no such
file is shipped: "The conffiles control file lists this path, but the
path does not appear to exist in the package." Lintian does not ship
/etc/lintianrc, so the file should not be listed, yet in a recent
build I see:

$ more ../control/conffiles
remove-on-upgrade /etc/lintianrc

The entry in conffiles refers to a file that does not exist. That is the bug.

Kind regards
Felix Lechner
