[Debconf-devel] Bug#884964: using "su - " in postinst causing some installs to fail

Package: debconf-doc
Version: 1.5.61
The use of "su - " in postinst is breaking package installs/upgrades
only when there are file(s) in /etc/profile.d.
Details are in the two bug reports:
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=884955
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=875958
I do not know what other packages may use "su - " but would suggest that
this issue be documented in debconf-doc so maintainers/devs can avoid
this. If I should file this some place else, please let me know.
Thank you.
