+=head1 NAME
+
+deb-conffiles - package conffiles
+
+=head1 SYNOPSIS
+
+B<DEBIAN/conffiles>
+
+=head1 DESCRIPTION
+
+A package declares its list of conffiles by including a I<conffiles> file
+in its control archive (i.e. I<DEBIAN/conffiles> during package creation).
+
+This file contains a list of files, one per line, with an optional leading
+flag separated by whitespace.
+The conffiles must be listed as absolute pathnames.
+Trailing whitespace will be trimmed, but empty or whitespace-only lines are
+not accepted.
+
+Files without a flag should exist in the binary package, otherwise L<dpkg(1)>
+will ignore them.
+
+There is currently only one flag supported, B<remove-on-upgrade>, to mark
+that a conffile needs to be removed on the next upgrade (since dpkg 1.20.6).
+These files must not exist in the binary package, as both L<dpkg(1)> and
+L<dpkg-deb(1)> will not accept building nor processing such binary packages.
