Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package causes
removal of files that also belong to another package.

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m25.7s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
  /etc/softhsm/softhsm.conf      owned by: softhsm

If the disappearing file is owned by softhsm, it must have existed
before softhsm was installed.

Looking further up in the logfile:

  Setting up softhsm-common (1.3.3-1) ...
  dpkg-statoverride: warning: --update given but /var/lib/softhsm does not exist
  
  Creating config file /etc/softhsm/softhsm.conf with new version

That does not look correct ... softhsm.conf was created by
softhsm-common and is shippd by softhsm as a conffile.
And softhsm-common should create /var/lib/softhsm first (or better ship
it as an empty directory in the package, otherwise the statoverride is
useless)

Cheers,

Andreas
