 Hi,
 
 during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
-remove (but not purge), and install again.
-Before the second installation the package is in config-files-remaining
-state. The configuration is remaining from the last version that was
-successfully configured - which is the same version that is going to be
-installed again.
+remove+purge, and install again.
 
 Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
 for a release, thus the severity.
 
+This is often a problem with the home directory of a system user:
+the user is not deleted during purge (which is fine), but the home
+directory is removed. Since the user already exists on the next
+installation, adduser won't recreate the home.
+
 From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
