The conffiles must be listed as absolute pathnames.  Trailing whitespace will be\ntrimmed, but empty or whitespace-only lines are not accepted.\n\nFiles without a flag should exist in the binary package, otherwise dpkg(1) will ignore them.\n\nThere is currently only one flag supported, remove-on-upgrade, to mark that a conffile needs\nto be removed on the next upgrade (since dpkg 1.20.6).  These files must not exist in the\nbinary package, as both dpkg(1) and dpkg-deb(1) will not accept building nor processing such\nbinary packages.\n",
