Package: icecc
Version: 0.9.7-5
Severity: serious
Tags: squeeze-ignore

Control: found -1 0.9.5-2
Hi,
during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies conffiles.
This is forbidden by the policy, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files
10.7.3: "[...] The easy way to achieve this behavior is to make the
configuration file a conffile. [...] This implies that the default
version will be part of the package distribution, and must not be
modified by the maintainer scripts during installation (or at any
other time)."
Note that once a package ships a modified version of that conffile,
dpkg will prompt the user for an action how to handle the upgrade of
this modified conffile (that was not modified by the user).
Further in 10.7.3: "[...] must not ask unnecessary questions
(particularly during upgrades) [...]"
If a configuration file is customized by a maintainer script after
having asked some debconf questions, it may not be marked as a
conffile. Instead a template could be installed in /usr/share and used
by the postinst script to fill in the custom values and create (or
update) the configuration file (preserving any user modifications!).
This file must be removed during postrm purge.
ucf(1) may help with these tasks.

In https://lists.debian.org/debian-devel/2012/09/msg00412.html and
followups it has been agreed that these bugs are to be filed with
severity serious.
debsums reports modification of the following files,
from the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):
/etc/default/icecc

Source: icecc
Binary: icecc libicecc-dev

Version: 1.0.0-1
Distribution: unstable
Urgency: low
Maintainer: Debian KDE Extras Team <[email protected]>
Changed-By: Pino Toscano <[email protected]>
Description:
icecc - distributed compiler (client and server)
libicecc-dev - development files for icecc (distributed compiler)
Closes: 656089 701295
Changes:
icecc (1.0.0-1) unstable; urgency=low
.
* New upstream release:
- fixes compilation with GCC 4.8 (Closes: #701295)
* Update patches:
- 10_rename_scheduler.diff: remove, obsolete
- fix_gcc_4.6_support.diff: remove, obsolete
- fix_pkglibdir_bug661413.diff: remove, obsolete
* Bump the debhelper compatibility to 9:
- bump compat to 9
- bump the debhelper build dependency to 9
- keep the libexecdir as a non-multiarch path
- adjust libicecc-dev.install
* Update icecc.install.
* Remove icecc.links, obsolete now.
* Remove the Debian-provided man pages of icecc, iceccd, and icecc-scheduler;
make use of their version shipped upstream.
* Export V=1 to make the build verbose.
* Generate the Debian-provided man pages at build time, instead of at
configure time.
* Remove ${shlibs:Depends} from libicecc-dev.
* Fix Vcs-* headers.
* Since the build system is no more patched, there is no need to autoreconf:
- drop the autoconf, automake, and libtool build dependencies
- stop calling autoreconf at configure time
* Pass --fail-missing to dh_install to make sure to not really miss anything,
removing the libtool's .la file before.
* Add the docbook-to-man and docbook-xml build dependencies for man pages
regeneration.
* Remove the dpkg 1.9.0 dependency in icecc, since that dpkg version is
available already since Woody (!).
* Rename docs to icecc.docs.
* Generate the Debian man pages in an own build directory, and clean it
properly.
* Rework the startup of iceccd and icecc-scheduler:
- split the init script in two init scripts for iceccd and icecc-scheduler
- remove the debconf usage to determine whether start daemons; other than
being uncommon to use debconf this way, it also overwrites a conffile,
/etc/defaults/icecc (which has been removed now, although still used if
present) (Closes: #656089)
- stop using $START_ICECC and $START_ICECC_SCHEDULER in init scripts
- skip debhelper init scripts for icecc-scheduler, manually handling
registration (which disables icecc-scheduler only when upgrading from
< 1.0.0 or when installing), stop and removal
- add NEWS and README.Debian to document how startup is handled
* icecc.postrm: do not manually remove the conffiles in /etc, since dpkg does
that already.
* Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.4, no changes required.
* Cleanup the old conffiles: remove /etc/init.d/icecc, and move away
/etc/defaults/icecc.
* Implement the "status" action in the init scripts.
* Fix typo in the icecc-create-env man page.
* Since icerun is a symlink to icecc, create a symlink to the icecc man page
as man page for icerun.
* Update config.guess and config.sub during build:
- add the autotools-dev build dependency
- use the autotools_dev dh addon
* Override the hyphen-used-as-minus-sign lintian tags, since all the
man pages shipped are generated from docbook.
* Add the file dependency in icecc, as icecc-create-env uses it.
* Add myself to Uploaders.
