Package: boinc-manager
Version: 7.4.23+dfsg-1
Severity: minor

Hi,

It appears that Boinc Manager drops a configuration file into the home directory without hiding it:

$ file /home/user/BOINC\ Manager-user
/home/user/BOINC Manager-user: ASCII text, with no line terminators

I think this file should begin with a dot to hide it from display in the home directory or be 
moved to a sub directory in a hidden directory in home.

Kitty
