Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package deletes the conffiles
/etc/init.d/roundup-dirs and /etc/init.d/roundup during postrm remove.
This is forbidden by policy 10.7.3:
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-files.html#s-config-files
"[...] configuration files must be preserved when the package is removed,
and only deleted when the package is purged [...]"

As conffiles are not restored on a subsequent reinstallation (deleting a
conffile is a local customization and will be preserved on upgrades etc.,
they will be missing after this sequence:

install roundup
remove roundup
install roundup

>From the attached log:

0m44.9s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
  debsums: missing file /etc/init.d/roundup-dirs (from roundup package)
  debsums: missing file /etc/init.d/roundup (from roundup package)


Cheers,

Andreas
