Is this a solvable problem via package tools?
Can (and maybe my ignorance isshowing) can say apt-get not interrogate a .deb file and ask &quot;which files re your config?&quot;.  Ok for this distro, they go under &#x2F;GOBO&#x2F;yourapp&#x2F;config or &#x2F;usr&#x2F;etc in that distro.<p>A final single constants file could be handed back to the app
Saying &quot;CONFIGDIR=&#x2F;foo&#x2F;bar&#x2F;bad&quot;
