Bug#618888: proftpd-basic: files in /home plus owned and unowned files after purge (policy 9.1.1, 6.8, 10.7.3 + 10.8)

[Holger Levsen]

Package: proftpd-basic
Version: 1.3.3d-5
Severity: serious
User: debian-qa at lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts piuparts.d.o

Hi, 

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left owned and 
unowned files on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8, 
10.7.3 and 10.8:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s10.7.3

From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m30.7s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /home/ftp/welcome.msg  not owned
  /var/log/proftpd       owned by: proftpd-basic
  /var/log/proftpd/controls.log  not owned
  /var/log/proftpd/proftpd.log   not owned

Putting files in /home is also a violation of 
http://www.pathname.com/fhs/pub/fhs-2.3.html#HOMEUSERHOMEDIRECTORIES (which 
is a violation of Debian policy 9.1.1) thus the serious severity. 


cheers,
	Holger
