mediad

[Tobias Grimm]

Hi!

I'm currently working on the vdr-plugin-mediad package. This plugin
requires the user vdr to be in the group plugdev, in order to allow vdr
to mount e.g. usb drives.

The question is, should the plugin package add "vdr" to the group
"plugdev" in postinst? And should it remove "vdr" from this group in
postrm? What if there ever comes another plugin that requires vdr in
plugdev?

An alternative would be to use debconf in postinst/postrm asking the
user, if vdr should be added to / removed from plugdev.

Or the package could simply install a note in README.Debian and leave it
up to the admin to add vdr to plugdev manually if needed.

bye,

Tobias
