Package: cnews
Version: cr.g7-38
Severity: important

/etc/news/mailname is a conffile, which means that every update of
cnews causes a dpkg diff prompt:

--- /etc/news/mailname  2005-04-03 12:55:03.000000000 -0400
+++ /etc/news/mailname.dpkg-new 2005-04-03 07:25:03.000000000 -0400

This defeats the whole point of conffile handling.
