--- Begin Message ---Package: dhcpy6d Version: 0.4-1 Severity: serious User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies conffiles. This is forbidden by the policy, see http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files 10.7.3: "[...] The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the configuration file a conffile. [...] This implies that the default version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any other time)." Note that once a package ships a modified version of that conffile, dpkg will prompt the user for an action how to handle the upgrade of this modified conffile (that was not modified by the user). Further in 10.7.3: "[...] must not ask unnecessary questions (particularly during upgrades) [...]" If a configuration file is customized by a maintainer script after having asked some debconf questions, it may not be marked as a conffile. Instead a template could be installed in /usr/share and used by the postinst script to fill in the custom values and create (or update) the configuration file (preserving any user modifications!). This file must be removed during postrm purge. ucf(1) may help with these tasks. See also http://wiki.debian.org/DpkgConffileHandling In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00412.html and followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with severity serious. debsums reports modification of the following files, from the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): /etc/default/dhcpy6d cheers, Andreas

(Closes: #767817) + Install file to /usr/share/dhcpy6d/default/dhcpy6d instead, remove symlink debian/dhcpy6d.default, add debian/dhcpy6d.install. + Depend on ucf. * Install volatile.sqlite into /usr/share/dhcpy6d/ and copy it to /var/lib/dhcpy6d/volatile.sqlite during postinst only if it doesn't yet exist. Remove it upon purge. (Closes: #768989) * Both fixes above together also remove unnecessary executable bits. (Else the fix for #767817 newly introduces the lintian warning executable-not-elf-or-script; closes: #769006) * Additionally replace symlink debian/dhcpy6d.logrotate with a patched copy of etc/logrotate.d/dhcpy6d to remove the executable bit also there.
