-           A package that declares the same <tt>conffile</tt> as another,
-           conflicting package may see left-over configuration files from
-           that other package.  If a user removes (without purging) one
-           of the packages and installs the other, the new package will
-           take over the <tt>conffile</tt> from the old package.  If the
-           file was modified by the user, it will be treated the same as
-           any other locally modified <tt>conffile</tt> during an
-           upgrade.
+           When two packages both declare the same <tt>conffile</tt>, they
+           may see left-over configuration files from each other even
+           though they conflict with each other.  If a user removes
+           (without purging) one of the packages and installs the other,
+           the new package will take over the <tt>conffile</tt> from the
+           old package.  If the file was modified by the user, it will be
+           treated the same as any other locally
+           modified <tt>conffile</tt> during an upgrade.
