553	Remove configuration files from packages	TAsn	ainulindale	"Hey,

ATM we store many configuration files (most notably phonegui's conf file) in the package in a way they extract to their final position (instead of a skeleton dir or something similar), this causes many annoying 
   Configuration file '/etc/frameworkd-phonegui.conf'
    ==> File on system created by you or by a script.
    ==> File also in package provided by package maintainer.
       What would you like to do about it ?  Your options are:
        Y or I  : install the package maintainer's version
        N or O  : keep your currently-installed version
          D     : show the differences between the versions (if diff is installed)
     The default action is to keep your current version.
    *** frameworkd-phonegui.conf (Y/I/N/O/D) [default=N] ?n

We should *stop* shipping configuration files with packages! that's just bad and annoying.

Possible solution:
ship the configuration file in to /usr/share, and add postinst script to copy the new configuration if doesn't exist already. Even better, if possible, just modify the app to do that itself."	defect	closed	major		Feed packages	SHR-unstable	duplicate
