reassign 947105 src:puppet tags 947105 +wontfix done 947105 It seems all maintainers here (including me) are in agreement that we are going to keep /etc/puppet, to distinguish Debian-managed packages from upstream packages. Upstream has a radically different approach to our packaging, and it might even make sense to have both packages installed at once (e.g. puppetserver 7 is not in Debian right now) and this will be a precious hack to avoid conflicts with upstream packages.
So I am closing this bug report, sorry if this is causing confusion to our users, but the real solution to this problem is for upstream to start helping the Debian community maintain those packages, so that we can converge over sane packaging practices on both sides.
