Package: laurel
Version: 0.6.1-1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
dh-sysusers exists since 7 years and has gained 9 users in that time -
laurel being one of them. Still it has a number of deficiencies such as
using useradd instead of the policy-recommended adduser or removing
users during package removal against project consensus and is not making
progress on addressing them. Meanwhile, a viable alternative with larger
adoption exists: sysusers.d. This mechanism is built into debhelper and
it no longer requires using systemd as multiple implementations now
exist. I therefore think it is time to call dh-sysusers a failed
experiment and move on. Do you agree with this reasoning? I'm attaching
a patch for your convenience.
Helmut
