Comment(by arma):

 {{{
 |<weasel> debs with just a single config file won't fly
 |<weasel> also, files/dirs in /etc/ being user writable is obviously bad
 too. it's a privileged escalation attack waiting to happen
 |<weasel> also, yes.  conflicts are an issue
 |<weasel> I still think it's a good idea tho.  for instance the debian-
 defaults patch could just be a config file snippet then

 |> in what way will they not fly?
 |<weasel> ftp-master will never accept them
 |<weasel> packages cause an overhead.  for a single file that's probably
 too much overhead.
