+.SH NAME
+deb\-conffiles \- package conffiles
+.
+.SH SYNOPSIS
+conffiles
+.
+.SH DESCRIPTION
+A package declares its list of conffiles by including a \fIconffiles\fP file
+in its control archive (i.e. \fIDEBIAN/conffiles\fP during package creation).
+.PP
+This file contains a list of files, one per line.
+They should be listed as absolute pathnames, and should exist in the binary
+package, otherwise \fBdpkg\fP(1) will ignore them (although by default
+\fBdpkg\-deb\fP(1) will refuse to build such binary packages).
+Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, and empty lines will be ignored.
