Old description:
> We used to divert /etc/gconf/2/path, which wasn't packaged (and so we
> never should have diverted it). This leaves /etc/gconf/2/path.debathena
> around as an obsolete conffile, which I believe we should clean up.
New description:
If you used to have DEB_DIVERT_FILES = a confflie, c-p-d should
automatically remove that conffile if you set DEB_UNDIVERT_FILES to that
conffile, since you don't still want it around.
You can use `dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$` to look
for symptoms of this. Examples I can find include
/etc/gconf/2/path.debathena (undiverted in [r24993 debathena-gconf-config
1.7]), /etc/cups/cupsd.conf.debathena (undiverted in [r25317 debathena-
cupsys-config 1.14]), /etc/apparmor.d/tunables/home.debathena,
/etc/adduser.conf.linerva, and /etc/default/bitlbee.linerva (both
undiverted in linerva-config 1.0.7).
