Package: roxen4
Version: 4.0.425-2
Severity: serious

roxen4 has an entire MySQL database as conffiles:

  fugl:~/nmu/roxen4-4.0.425> cat debian/conffiles 
  /var/lib/roxen4/my.cfg
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/host.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/db.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/db.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/db.MYD
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/tables_priv.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/host.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/host.MYD
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/user.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/user.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/user.MYD
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/func.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/func.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/func.MYD
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/columns_priv.frm
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/tables_priv.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/tables_priv.MYD
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/columns_priv.MYI
  /var/lib/roxen4/mysql/columns_priv.MYD

This is clearly nonsensical, as a database is, well, a database, and not
suitable at all for dpkg's conffile handlings. (Furthermore, conffiles
are supposed to live in /etc as per FHS, they're supposed to have sane
behaviour on changed files, and a host of other differences. You simply
cannot have binary data like this as conffiles.)
