Package: debian-edu-config Severity: serious Justification: Policy 10.7.4 The (only?) purpose of debian-edu-config is to "tweak" the default install of other Debian packages. Extensions are added to the base-config package that messes with a bunch of conffiles based on debconf values.
It is a violation of Debian Policy to mess with conffiles of other packages, and http://release.debian.org/sarge_rc_policy.txt section 3 adds this: > Packages must not modify their own or other packages conffiles > programmatically. (The only correct way to modify a conffile is > the user running an editor specifically; if anything more automated > is required or useful, configuration files must _NOT_ be handled as > conffiles) I interpret the above as a clarification that Debian Policy 10.7.4 relates also to code inactive by default (like debconf preseeding). Thus I consider the current behaviour of debian-edu-config an RC bug! - Jonas P.S.
