I am not sure what the fix is either, but it breaks Piuparts (#834766) for a *lot* of packages: https://piuparts.debian.org/sid/unowned_files_after_purge_error.html arguably, not all those matches are due to this specific bug, but at this point, any package that ships a daemon with dh_installinit (and that's a lot of packages!) are now yielding piuparts errors all over the place (e.g. postfix, openssh-server, apache2 all now fail piuparts). This bug is marked as "pending", with a patch. Would that fix piuparts? If so, I would highly recommend uploading the new version ASAP to keep people like me from looking all over the place to figure out what broke in their packages. If not, it would be great to have some way forward. Punting the issue in Piuparts' backyard may work, but I think it would be nice to get rid of those old directories on systems that do not have init.d files anymore... Thanks! A.
