Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove+purge, and install again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

This is often a problem with the home directory of a system user:
the user is not deleted during purge (which is fine), but the home
directory is removed. Since the user already exists on the next
installation, adduser won't recreate the home.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
