+Hi,
+
+during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
+were installed by another package.
+The removed files were already present before the package was installed,
+they may have been shipped or created by a dependency.
+
+This could be a violation of policy 10.7.4 ("Sharing configuration
+files"), see
+http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.4
+or policy chapter 6 ("Package maintainer scripts..."), see
+http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html
+or policy 7.6 ("Overwriting files..."), see
+http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces
+
+If a directory is used by several packages, all should ship it as part
+of the package (possibly empty, using $package.dirs to create it), and
+no package should mkdir/rmdir it in the maintainer scripts as dpkg will
+take care of this.
+
+From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
+
+
+
+cheers,
