Package: bitlbee-common
Version: 3.0.5-1
Severity: serious

Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove+purge, and install again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

Looks like the home directory is removed but the user remains, so the
next installation won't recreate the missing homedirectory and using
the homeless user fails later on.
