Thanks to Sam Hocevar, closes: #392504. I came across this issue when reviewing a translation of these Debconf templates, and I do not believe that this accurately resolves the bug. Violating policy is not solved by warning the user that this package violates policy, but by resolving the violation. I see no reason for this package to be installing anything into /usr/local, even if this is "at the user's own risk". For example /var/cache could be a good solution, or even under /usr/share. Check out packages like flashplugin-nonfree or msttcorefonts, which are downloaders but still confirm to the FHS just fine. thanks, Thijs
