Which is strange, as debhelper normally assumes all files in /etc/ are conffiles. (pause) Aha, the source package has no debian/compat level so it defaults to very-very-old, when debhelper didn't do that. I'll bug it for when Timothy has time to look at it.

I can't see the reason for writing anything to sources.list(.d) anyway, you need that already set up to apt-get the keyring package! If you already set TDE in main sources.list, you would then have double entries for the same stuff. Also, the ubuntu reference is confusing. It's quite common for Debian users to manually enter non-Debian lists in sources.list.d. David

And then I discovered that I was also getting updates from the main PPA anyway. As you say, some third party packages use this practice of putting a sources.list entry into their keyring file, but it's not mainstream amongst third-party Debian add-ons e.g. backports-org-keyring didn't do this, debian-multimedia-keyring doesn't. For the future, perhaps the instructions might either say to add the sources.list entry manually, or to download the keyring file manually which will then add it in sources.list.d, IMHO. Still at least I now know about sources.list.d for the future :-) Nick -- Serendipity: http://www.leverton.org/blosxom (last update 29th March 2010) "The Internet, a sort of ersatz counterfeit of real life" -- Janet Street-Porter, BBC2, 19th March 1996
