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.
