Debian Conference 2015 The annual Debian developer meeting

Configuration file handling is complex, stable, yet error-prone in Debian today. It's trivial to forget handling conversions to/from symlinks, removal of config files, reintroduction of config files, and moving them between packages. Can we work towards minimising/removing config files? Dropping many maintainer scripts that manipulate those as well? The talk will have a life demo of a system that is fully operation without any non-user created files in /etc
