File suffixes/extensions

I've found the following file file extensions/suffixes in /var/lib/dpkg/info:

`conffiles`	List (ASCII files) of the configuration files that ship with a package
`config`	Perl or shell scripts
`/format`
`list`	List of directories and files of a package(?)
`md5sums`	Hash of files found in `*.list`?
`postinst`	Shell scripts
`postrm`	Shell scripts
`preinst`	Shell scripts
`prerm`	Shell scripts
`shlibs`
`symbols`
`templates`	Translation of messages?
`triggers`

These suffixes were found with the following command:

$ find -type f | sed -n 's/.*\.\(.*\)/\1/p' | sort | uniq -c
