Package: portmap Version: 5-12 Severity: normal The config script of portmap now includes code that writes a new config file if one doesn't exist. The debconf-devel manual has this to say about that:
The config script should not need to modify the filesystem at all. It
just examines the state of the system, and asks questions, and debconf
stores the answers to be acted on later by the postinst script. Con-
versely, the postinst script should almost never use debconf to ask
questions, but should instead act on the answers to questions asked by
the config script.
The actual reasons are many and various, and it's probably not going to
break anything to do this, but I can see no reason for you to do so,
aside from some small convenience.
