2# Encode name of a file in a Debian package name.
3#
4# The purpose of this encoding is to cause Debian configuration
5# packages (potentially from different sites) that divert the same
6# configuration file to conflict with each other.  Thus, it is
7# important that all sites using this Debian configuration package
8# system use this encoding.
9#
10# This encoding is intended to be human-readable, so that users can
11# determine the cause of conflicts between different configuration
12# packages.
