# Encode name of a file in a Debian package name.

# DO NOT CHANGE THIS FUNCTION OR WE WILL ALL BURN IN CONFLICT HELL
# 
# The purpose of this encoding is to cause Debian configuration
# packages (potentially from different sites) that divert the same
# configuration file to conflict with each other.  Thus, it is
# important that all sites using this Debian configuration package
# system use this encoding.
#
# This encoding is intended to be human-readable, so that users can
# determine the cause of conflicts between different configuration
# packages.
