Adduser devel - Nov 2007 - Bug#452864: adduser: IGNORE_REGEX

Package: adduser
Version: 3.105
Severity: normal

I''m doing some cleanup here, and looking for files ending in .dpkg- was
part of it.  In a file called adduser.conf.dpkg-save we have a 
SKEL_IGNORE_REGEX variable.  Should a person have save as one of the
patterns to ignore?  Since I gather none of old|new|dist fit for this 
adduser.conf file, perhaps a similar situation will happen in /etc/skel
at some time?

Hi

So your question is if SKEL_IGNORE_REGEX can be extended to

SKEL_IGNORE_REGEX="dpkg-(old|new|dist|save)"

Is this correct? (Yes, it can.)
