[Debian-med-packaging] Bug#707639: gnuhealth: System user for the server

[Mathias Behrle]

X-Debbugs-CC: <tryton-debian at lists.virtual-things.org>
Package: gnuhealth
Version: 1.8.1-1 (svn rev 13528)
Severity: important

   Please drop creation and usage of the gnuhealth user.

   While it is obviously preferable to run a tryton server under a user
   account, it is generally not a good idea to run different servers under
   different users.
   trytond uses unoconv for document conversion. unoconv can be run as a
   service, which is preferable for performance reasons. To connect a tryton
   server to an unoconv session it must be run under the same user.
   Running the server under a different user as the tryton user created from
   tryton-server package itself IMO is needless and counterproductive. Probably
   this idea is a relict from GNU Health wiki, which is inspired from the wiki
   on tryton.org, where we are descripting a setup, when running trytond from
   *sources*(!).
