Package: adduser
Version: 3.110
Severity: normal

Hi.

It seems that /etc/adduser.conf is not marked as conffile for the package (but there's some file in /usr/share... ?!)...
Why this?

There seems to be no other handling for merging changes from maintainers version, which makes it invisible for updates.

I've just seen that I had a totally outdated version of that file, missing many new config options. Even if you use that /usr/share file as fallback,.. this is bad, as users won't learn about new options, e.g.


Regards,
Chris.
