[Pkg-openssl-devel] Bug#689490: openssl: using openssl from maintainer scripts creates /root/.rnd

[Andreas Beckmann]

Package: openssl
Version: 1.0.1c-4
Severity: important
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts


Hi,

while doing piuparts tests I noticed several packages leaving around a
/root/.rnd file. The thing all these have in common is a (indirect)
dependency on openssl:

 courier-mta-ssl
 courier-imap-ssl
 courier-pop-ssl
 dovecot-core
 (perhaps more)

I think this is a FHS violation, dropping anything in root's HOME.
Wouldn't /var/lib/openssl/rnd be a more appropriate place?
