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 [1] https://lintian.debian.org/tags/conffile-is-not-in-package
