The "dpkg -L fail2ban" gives me "/etc/fail2ban.conf" on Ubuntu 8.04.1. If a configuration file is shipped with a package but not used by that package, then it's a bug. fail2ban.jail doesn't exist on my system, /etc/fail2ban/jail.conf does. It can list all sorts of information, but that's worthless if it is contradicted by the information in /etc/fail2ban.conf. Since both are shipped with the same package, it is impossible for an outsider to decide which information is valid and which can be discarded.

I don't see how this is *not* a bug.
