We are managing *a*couple*of* our conffiles with ucf, but by far not all of them. The files in question are just usual conffiles. Please have a look at the command output attached below. Moreover, as I wrote, the files are in the *deb, as can be checked by un-ar'ing and un-tar'ing it, and they are unchanged compared to 2.0.2c-6, the version in unstable I am upgrading from.
