Problem
=========
The `udev` package includes `/lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf`, a configuration file blacklisting several kernel modules. It's not listed as a configuration file in the package, though:
$ cat /var/lib/dpkg/info/udev.conffiles
/etc/init.d/udev
/etc/udev/udev.conf
This means that, if I want to go ahead and use the `sisfb` kernel module, for example, any updated version of `udev` that's installed will again blacklist the kernel module, which doesn't work well when the system is being used by someone very new to computers.
I can't avoid that by simply telling APT to leave configuration files alone because a `.conf` file technically isn't a configuration file. Also, `chattr +i /lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf` causes APT to take extra effort to repair things when the end user agrees to an install in the GUI reminder of new software.
Request
=========
Please mark `/lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf` as a configuration file in `udev`.

This means that, if I want to go ahead and use the `sisfb` kernel module, for example, I unblacklist it in the two files it's blacklisted in. However, any updated version of `udev` that's installed will throw away my changes to `/lib/modprobe.d/fbdev-blacklist.conf` by simply overwriting the file and again blacklist the kernel module, which doesn't work well when the system is being used by someone very new to computers.
