I'm of the opinion that there needs to be a way for packages to register generated files as belonging to them with dpkg. Packages would be expected to register ucf/etc-generated configuration files, alternatives and any files and directories created by their maintainer scripts.
cruft could then use that database to explain much of the stuff in /etc that shows up as cruft currently. No idea if this has been proposed to the dpkg developers, you might like to submit a wishlist bug if not. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
