Acknowledgement sent to Kevin Dalley <kevin@aimnet.com>:
New bug report received and forwarded.
Your message didn't have a Package: line at the start (in the
pseudo-header following the real mail header), or didn't have a
psuedo-header at all.
This makes it much harder for us to categorise and deal with your
problem report; please ensure that you say which package(s) and
version(s) the problem is with next time. Some time in the future the
problem reports system may start rejecting such messages.

Message #5 received at submit@bugs.debian.org (full text, mbox, reply):
Source: dpkg
Version: 1.4.0.5
I suggest a small change in
/usr/doc/dpkg/programmer.html/ch-conffiles.html:
When a package is installed for the first time <kbd>dpkg</kbd>
will install the file that comes with it, unless that would
mean overwriting a file already on the filesystem.<P>
I suggest that the previous line read something like this:
When a package installs a conffile for the first time ...
I suggest this change since a conffile may be added to a package at
any time, not just upon original installation.
