Bug#618888: This report is questionable

[Francesco P. Lovergine]

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

I do not agree about this report. The /home/ftp location
is the home of the traditional 'ftp' anonymous user and 
removing it or any of the (possibly) custom files there
is out of question, even at purge time IMHO. 

That said, I could simply remove completely the management
of a generic anonymous account, leaving to admin all duties about
that. That would render piuparts happy, and some admins too 
possibly. Maybe some other admins won't appreciate the
change, who knows? 

Note also that indeed creating a system user for that is
not always something that works, due to possibly exotic 
auth schemes.

PS:
I think you are pointing only about that, and not the log
files of course.
