> Package: rygel
> Version: 0.20.3-1
> Severity: normal

> Dear Maintainer,

> By default rygel allows upload and deletion of files.
> As a user will likely start rygel using the minimal gnome sharing
user GUI, he may not understand that all his files could be deleted
neither anyone can fill modify his files or fill his disk.
> So I would rather change the setting so the upload and deletion are
disabled.
> Moreover almost all usable DLNA client are only players/controllers
and don't support upload/deletion of files. So basically, it
a  security hole without any useability counterpart.

This has been changed upstream in 0.31.0, see
