+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.

+  * 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.

+    using devfs with Linux 2.4. libc6 is already supposed to deal
+    with /dev/pts (Bug #61408).
+  * postinst removes base.conffiles as well (otherwise, some files
+    like /etc/motd or /root/.bash_profile may disappear).
+    Thanks a lot to Mikko Oilinki for the report.
+  * Slightly improved README.base.

+  * Removed obsolete README. If someone still asks about /usr/spool or
+    /var/adm then a paragraph could be added to the Debian FAQ.

+  * Changed compatibility symlink /usr/doc/copyright/LGPL so that it
+    points to the old version.

+  * preinst: Do not fiddle with /etc/issue.net anymore.
+  * Changed the way /cdrom, /floppy and /initrd are handled.
+    These directories will now be created by postinst in the initial install.
+    This is a compromise after discussing in debian-policy about Bug #35928.
+    It will save people who like them the work of creating them after
+    installing a new system, and it will save people who dislike them the
+    work of removing them every time base-files is upgraded.
+    Since these directories are only a convenience for the user, who
+    is free to use them or not, the spirit of FHS is preserved.
+  * preinst and postinst: Following the principle of least surprise,
+    added code so that existing directories are not removed when upgrading
+    this package from previous releases.

+
+  * Removed the "frozen" word from /etc/debian_version.
+  * Removed the use of the ROOT variable in preinst and postinst for two
+    reasons: a) It is no longer needed, since the base system is built
+    by using dpkg's --root=dir option, which works in a chrooted environment;
+    and b) Unexpected results would be obtained if user root had actually
+    defined a variable named ROOT.

+    Instead, they are created from /root/.bash_profile.dpkg-dist and
+    /root/.bashrc.dpkg-dist if they do not exist.

+  * Replaced /usr/bin/X11 by /usr/X11R6/bin in root's PATH.
+  * Manpage hierarchy is no longer created under /usr/local/man.
+  * Added a small comment in /etc/nsswitch.conf saying where
+    to find documentation about this file (libc6-doc package).
+  * Added some aliases for colorized `ls' commented out in .bashrc, so
+    that the user will simply have to uncomment them.

+    please everybody and/or generate a flame war, but at least is better
+    than nothing (previosuly it was PS1='\h\$ ').
+  * Added two blank lines to /etc/motd to keep Copyright notice from being
+    overwritten by /etc/init.d/bootmisc.sh.
+  * Removed compatibility symlinks /usr/spool, /usr/tmp, /usr/adm
+    and /var/adm. Now is when we have to see if something breaks.
+  * Removed /usr/lib/locale. Added /usr/share and /usr/include.

+  * /bin/edit is now #!/bin/sh.

+  * /etc/issue now reads "GNU/Linux" (not "GNU Linux").
+  * Updated copyright year for /etc/motd.
