    Hi dpkg maintainers,

    is there a way to mark a file shipped by a package so that dpkg
    does not remove it on package removal or purge?
    I need to test for and read from files that are shipped by one of my
    packages in postrm script, but the files are already gone at that
    stage..

    Best Regards,
    Lorenzo
