[Pkg-nagios-devel] Bug#665845: Bug#665845: nagios-nrpe: postrm removes /var/lib/nagios which might still be used by other packages

Hi,

If I remember a discussion on debian-devel right, such home directories should
just stay where they are (or at least let dpkg handle this by shipping the empty
directory and using dpkg-statoverride to give it to the nagios user in the
postinst).

cheers,

Bernd
