Package: ceilometer-common Version: 2013.2.1-1 Severity: serious The ceilometer postinst scripts runs the following commands unconditionally on "configure" and even "reconfigure":
adduser ceilometer nova || true adduser ceilometer libvirt || true In the common case this is just annoying as the postinst prints The user `ceilometer' is already a member of `nova'. The user `ceilometer' is already a member of `libvirt'. during upgrades. But this is actually not respecting local admin configurations. If an administrator decides (for whatever reason) that the ceilometer user should not be part of these groups, this decision is reverted on every package upgrade. This violates Debian Policy section 10.7.3 which states that local modifications must be preserved. The user should only be added to these groups on first install. On upgrades the group membership should not be changed.
