Package: tinysnmp-agent Version: 0.8.4 Severity: normal You really should use adduser and make sure that a UID from the "dynamically allocated system users and groups" group (100-999) is used, as mandated in section 9.2.2 of the Policy.
"adduser --system --no-create-home --group tinysnmp" should do the trick. Two other points: 1. Error checking is needed here. After all, there might already be a "tinysnmp" user on the system and there's no reason why the installation should fail in that case. 2. You may want to consider calling the system user Debian-tinysnmp, to make it clear to the local administrator that the user was created by the package's maintainer script.
