Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
we'd like to remove dh-sysuser from Debian. There are numerous problems
with it. A much more widely accepted alternative - sysusers.d - is
available even on non-Linux architectures. Where dh-sysusers is limited
to Debian and procedural, sysusers.d works on multiple distributions and
is declarative. At this time, there are only two users of dh-sysusers
left. One of them is pound. I am proposing to move to sysusers.d and
attaching a patch for your convenience. Note that
dh-sequence-installsysusers is provided by debhelper, so you do not add
a different dependency here but merely enable the standard addon.
Helmut
