+Frequently Asked Questions about base-files
+===========================================
+
+* Questions about /etc/issue and /etc/debian_version:
+
+Q. I upgraded my system to the testing distribution and now my /etc/issue
+says "wheezy/sid". Should it not read "wheezy" or "testing"?
+
+Q. I upgraded my system to the unstable distribution and now my /etc/issue
+says "wheezy/sid". Should it not read "sid" or "unstable"?
+
+A. You obviously do not understand how the testing distribution works.
+Packages uploaded for unstable reach testing after ten days, provided
+they are built for every released architecture, have no RC-bugs and
+their dependencies may be met in testing. You should consider the
+testing and unstable distributions as two sides of the same coin.
+Since the base-files package in testing was initially uploaded for
+unstable, the only sensible /etc/issue to have is one that is both
+valid for testing and unstable, hence "wheezy/sid" (or whatever is
+appropriate).
+
+Q. Why "wheezy/sid" and not "testing/unstable" as it used to be?
+
+A. The codename is a little bit more informative, as the meaning of
+"testing" changes over time.
+
+Q. Ok, but how do I know which distribution I'm running?
+
+A. If you are running testing or unstable, then /etc/debian_version is
+not a reliable way to know that anymore. Looking at the contents of
+your /etc/apt/sources.list file is probably a much better way.
+
+
+* Other questions:
+
+Q. After upgrading my system recently, I noticed that some files from
+base-files do not match the ones which are installed on a fresh install
+of squeeze. Should I not be warned about that?
+
+A. Those files are configuration files, so they are completely under
+the control of the system admin. The files installed by base-files are
+just defaults. Changes in the default files are not important enough
+to warn the user, as it is also policy that prompting should be
+reduced to a minimum. This is also the reason they are not handled via
+dpkg's conffile mechanism.
+
+In either case, if you want to "upgrade" those files, just look at the
+postinst for base-files (i.e. /var/lib/dpkg/info/base-files.postinst)
+and you will see how they are created and where their master copies are:
+
+  install_from_default /usr/share/base-files/nsswitch.conf /etc/nsswitch.conf
+  install_from_default /usr/share/base-files/dot.profile   /root/.profile
+  install_from_default /usr/share/base-files/dot.bashrc    /root/.bashrc
+  install_from_default /usr/share/base-files/profile       /etc/profile
+  install_from_default /usr/share/base-files/motd          /etc/motd
+
+So, if you want your system to be as similar as possible to a newly
+installed squeeze system, you might want to sync these files manually.
+
+
+Q. Why isn't license "foo" included in common-licenses?
+
+A. I delegate such decisions to the policy group. If you want to
+propose a new license you should make a policy proposal to modify the
+paragraph in policy saying "Packages distributed under the UCB BSD
+license, Artistic license, GNU GPL and GNU LGPL should refer to the
+files in /usr/share/common-licenses". The way of doing this is
+explained in the debian-policy package. As usual, you should always
+take a look at already reported bugs against debian-policy before
+submitting a new one.
+
+Q. I upgraded from woody to sarge. Should my system be FHS-compliant now?
+
+A. Achieving FHS compliance by upgrading would be tricky and prone to
+error in certain cases, so it is not a goal of base-files, nor it is
+planned to be. By default, some "mandatory" directories (like /opt,
+/srv or /media) are only created in the first install (performed by
+debootstrap), to keep the code as simple as possible, follow the
+principle of least surprise on upgrades, and also to give people the
+freedom to remove those directories without them being created again
+when base-files is upgraded. Therefore, if you are running any sort of
+compliance tests, you should do it on newly installed systems only.

+The FHS standard specifies /var/mail as the mail spool, but it also says
+/var/mail may be a symbolic link to another directory, and there is no
+requirement to physically move the mail spool to this location.
+
+Therefore, no package will move files around from one location to another
+on upgrades, and /var/mail will be the real directory only in newly
+installed systems.
+
+Since /var/spool/mail has been in use for several years now, we need
+also to provide backwards compatibility for some time yet.
+
+So, to summarize:
+
+* New systems (Debian 2.2 or later) will have /var/mail as a real
+directory and /var/spool/mail as a symlink to it.
+
+* Upgraded systems will have /var/spool/mail as the real directory
+and /var/mail as a symlink to it.
+
+
+People upgrading from previous releases who prefer the new physical
+location /var/mail over the old one may do the required changes in their
+systems if they do it with extreme care and know what they are doing. The
+packages in charge of ensuring that /var/mail exists (currently, libc6 and
+base-files) will not touch it at all if it already exists as a directory
+or a symlink.

+base-files (6.5) unstable; urgency=low

+
+base-files (6.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Added /run. Closes: #620157.
+  * On new installs:
+    - Create /run/lock (debian-installer will remove it but this will
+    ensure that it exists even on chroot environments).
+    - Symlink /var/run to /run.
+    - Symlink /var/lock to /run/lock.
+  * On upgraded systems, initscripts will handle the transition to /run.
+  * Added "Breaks: initscripts << (2.88dsf-13.3)" to ensure that initscripts
+    is upgraded first, as otherwise udev would break.
+  * Thanks a lot to Roger Leigh.

+    udev should not blindly assume that it works just because it exists.

+base-files (5.10) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Changed postinst to not reset /var/run/utmp permissions on every upgrade.
+    It is definitely not base-files business to change the permissions of
+    an already existing /var/run/utmp, as the system admin might have
+    changed them on purpose after the file was created. Closes: #601746.

+
+base-files (5.9) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+  * Changed /etc/profile so that it defines PATH again. Closes: #571086.
+    We will have plenty of time to discuss about this after the release
+    of squeeze, but for now, this is the safe thing to do.

+base-files (5.5) unstable; urgency=low

+    used for ordinary user accounts, which, according to policy, start
+    at uid 1000 by default.

+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Wed, 19 May 2010 18:57:10 +0200
+
+base-files (5.4) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Changed umask in default /etc/profile to 002, which has a little bit
+    more sense than 022 on systems like Debian having User Private Groups.
+    As usual for /etc/profile, only new installs will have the new default,
+    so nobody will be surprised by this on upgrades. Hopefully, this change
+    will be documented in the release notes for squeeze as well, for users
+    who install squeeze from scratch. Closes: #248140, #581434.
+  * Refresh GNU licenses from http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/Licenses/, as they
+    have expanded the embedded tabs. Closes: #572245.

+
+  * Changed default /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/profile.d/*.sh
+    as mandated by the LSB section 16.2. Closes: #545756.
+    Package maintainers: Please don't use profile.d if you can avoid it,

+
+  * Added question in FAQ to document the fact that some configuration
+    files in /etc are never updated on upgrades. Closes: #571083.
+  * Changed default /usr/src to be root:root and 755. Closes: #573701.
+    The old permissions were of little benefit, and the user can still
+    change this after installing a new system anyway.
+  * Renamed FAQ to README and added a compatibility symlink.
+  * Removed obsolete Depends on base-passwd, as version 2.0.3.4 is more
+    than 10 years old and we don't support upgrades which skip releases.
+  * Dropped preinst completely, as it was there just to support upgrades
+    from very old releases (that we don't support anymore).
+  * Removed postinst code that supports upgrades from very old releases.

+base-files (5.1) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Changed default permissions for /root to 700, as many admins consider
+    it should be more private than other home directories. Closes: #514794.
+  * Changed default permissions for /var/log/btmp to 660, to be in sync
+    with permissions set by logrotate. Closes: #547407.
+  * Do not export PS1 in /root/.bashrc, as it has bash escapes and it's
+    inherited to subshells that do not have to be bash. Closes: #567733.
+  * Added debian_chroot variable to default PS1 in /root/.bashrc.
+  * Comment out PS1 in /root/.bashrc anyway, as /etc/profile and
+    /etc/bash.bashrc already care about it. Closes: #443245.
+  * Comment out umask as well, as it's already in /etc/profile.
+  * Added /usr/local/games to default PATH in /etc/profile. Closes: #487105.
+  * While we are at it, comment out everything about PATH, as /etc/login.defs
+    should already care about this.
+  * Changed default /etc/profile so that it sources /etc/bash.bashrc
+    if the shell is bash. Closes: #275622.
+  * Drop \u part from default PS1 in /etc/profile, as it's only useful
+    for people with several non-root accounts. Most people are either root
+    or an ordinary user, so $ and # are enough to differentiate between them.
+  * Comment out PS1 setting in /etc/profile anyway, as we have bash.bashrc.

+base-files (5.0.0) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Drop README.base, remove-base, and the lines in postinst which checked
+    for the old base package being present.
+  * Do not fiddle with /etc/adjtime anymore, as it does not belong here.
+  * Added file /etc/dpkg/origins/debian from dpkg package, for the benefit
+    of Debian-derived distributions, as base-files is trivial to fork.
+    Hopefully, this will be one less reason to fork dpkg. Closes: #487437.
+  * Added dpkg (<= 1.15.0) to Replaces, because of the above.
+  * On initial install and also on upgrades, create /etc/dpkg/origins/default
+    as a symlink to /etc/dpkg/origins/debian, if it does not exist.
+  * Updated copyright year in copyright file.

+  * Added GFDL-1.3 from http://www.gnu.org/licenses/fdl-1.3.txt as new
+    packages in unstable are starting to use it. Closes: #517196.
+  * Updated generic GFDL symlink accordingly, as it is always supposed
+    to point to the latest version.

+
+base-files (4.0.6) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Changed the way wtmp, btmp and lastlog are handled. They are no longer
+    recreated at every base-files upgrade. Instead, they are only created
+    once, when base-files is installed by debootstrap. It is really not
+    base-files business to fiddle with those files, as it is documented
+    that removing them is the standard way to disable logging to them.
+    Closes: #488376.

+ -- Santiago Vila <sanvila@debian.org>  Tue, 04 Nov 2008 20:34:12 +0100
+
+base-files (4.0.5) unstable; urgency=low
+
+  * Changed awk from Depends to Pre-Depends. Closes: #314571, #469552.
+    This is required to make the awk virtual package to be truly essential,
+    as only essential packages, their predependencies, and the dependencies
+    of their predependencies are guaranteed to be "working at all times".
+    Previously, the packaging system was allowed to remove an awk flavour
+    and install another one in the middle of an upgrade, which may break
+    packages using awk in their preinsts (and in fact, it happened).
+    Tkanks a lot to Steve Langasek for clarifying this issue.
+  * It's still soon to change /etc/debian_version. Please be patient.

+ several important miscellaneous files, such as /etc/debian_version,
+ /etc/host.conf, /etc/issue, /etc/motd, /etc/profile, /etc/nsswitch.conf,
+ and others, and the text of several common licenses in use on Debian systems.
