Shipping it as a conffile *and* managing it with debconf/ucf/... at the same time is a violation, since dpkg will prompt for a modified conffile once you ship a modified version of the conffile. Try adding a comment to the file you ship, rebuild the package, install it, ouch. (For ucf, the template should be in /usr/share, not /etc ...) Andreas
