Hi. I'm scared about removing /etc/profile by accident.
Guillem: I see that dpkg contains some helper programs to remove "obsolete conffiles". Are they meant to be used for conffiles which should no longer exist, or also for conffiles which are no longer conffiles but should continue to exist? The end goal is to make "dpkg -s base-files" not to show /etc/profile anymore on systems which were upgraded from an old Debian release (where the file was still a conffile). Is there a tested and fool-proof way to do that? Thanks.
