Package: pepperflashplugin-nonfree Version: 1.5 Severity: serious Justification: §10.7.3: conffiles must not be modified by maintainer scripts
Hi! The postinst for pepperflashplugin-nonfree runs update-pepperflashplugin-nonfree which modifies /etc/chromium/default. This file is (a) a conffile and conffiles must not be modified from maintainer scripts [§10.7.3] and (b) is a conffile owned by another package and modifying the files of another package is not permitted [§10.7.4]. As a result of modifying a conffile, the admin is also then given unnecessary prompts to deal with changes to this conffile in future package upgrades which must not happen [§10.7.3]. (This also happens with the version in wheezy-backports.)
