Subject: davmail: minor backporting issues
Package: davmail
Version: 5.5.1.3299-2
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
I was trying to build this on buster and hit a couple of small issues.
Not sure how many of these qualify as 'bugs' vs 'features' but thought
I would report just in case some need addressing.
First, the dependency 'debhelper-compat (=12)' seems to lead to an
error

I worked around this like so

After a bit of digging it seems this was fixed in javahelper-0.72.10
(see #933715). So probably nothing needs to be done here.
When it came to installation, I got this error
adduser: Please enter a username matching the regular expression configured
via the NAME_REGEX configuration variable. Use the `--force-badname'
option to relax this check or reconfigure NAME_REGEX.

Note that --force-badname is deprecated, according to dpkg-statoverride;
I get this warning if I use -force-badname

I briefly poked around in the adduser git but I don't see where this warning
is coming from.
