Dear Maintainer,

here is the problem:

$ dpkg-query -W -f='${Conffiles}\n' | grep obsolete$
[...]
  /etc/xdg/autostart/xapp-sn-watcher.desktop a9fa3be7aaf46761adcdb856c63c125f obsolete

Simply installing libxapp1 on a system is sufficient to create this problem (no upgrade scenario is necessary).

Hi, thanks for report, I saw this issue in 3 different cases where move
conffile from a package to another cause it to be marked as absolete as
reported also by other in
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=886389

2 time in xapp when happened in 2.0.6-2 for xapp-sn-watcher.desktop and
rehappened in 2.2.6-1 for another move (tested on clean Sid upgrade to
experimental)

I not found a solution or workaround for now
