[Pkg-aide-maintainers] Bug#699422: please consider implementing an @@ifexist macro

Severity: wishlist

Hi,

please consider implementing a @ifexist FILE macro with the following
documentation (which can be used for the man page):

  @@ifexist FILE
    @@ifexist works like @@ifdef. The difference is that it checks
    whether FILE exists and uses the lines after @@ifexist in this
    case. This allows, for example, to exclude the files a program is
    known to work with from the aide check if its config file is
    found. For example, @@ifexist /etc/cron.daily/mlocate,
    /var/lib/mlocate/mlocate.db$ VarFile, @@endif

Greetings
Marc
