[Debconf-devel] Bug#247134: debconf: affects backups

[gambarimasu+reportbug at gmail.com]

Package: debconf
Version: 1.5.1
Followup-For: Bug #247134


i see that the bug is 2 years old, that there was a previous bug, and
that the changelog implies that it used to be in /usr/lib/.  not sure
why, since it seems to violate the fhs to me.  perhaps debian is not
supposed to agree with the fhs?  or perhaps the i/o is not considered
significant.

just wanted to say that many users will exclude /var/cache from
backups.
