Package: pppoeconf
Version: 1.0.11
Severity: critical
Justification: causes serious data loss

When updating chap-secrets and pap-secrets, pppoeconf uses a sed command that 
fails if the user string contains a / character.
The consequence is that all previous content of these files is lost.
Wanadoo, a french ISP, has given to me such a user name.

The use of "grep -v" should be more appropriate.
