Thanks for the report. I am CC'ing the Debian release team to get
feedback regarding an acceptable fix Debian testing.

  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=769100

This bug is caused by the (now invalid) assumption of the Debian packaging to
find all relevant config variables in the main condor_config file (see
the various sed expressions in debian/rules).

However, as explained in

  https://htcondor-wiki.cs.wisc.edu/index.cgi/tktview?tn=4325

the mechanism for specifying the default configuration changed leading up to
the 8.2.x series.

The proper way to fix this is to move all default configuration settings from
debian/rules into a patch of src/condor_utils/param_info.in.

Alternatively, a CRED_STORE_DIR variable could be reintroduced into the
default config file shipped with the package, which would override this
particular (broken) default. The changes to the source package would be
minimal, but the general invalid approach to specifying a default
configuration would be kept.

While I have the attention of the release time, I'd like to ask for
feedback on pushing an upstream update into jessie. HTCondor uses the
odd/even version setup for stable and development releases. The 8.2.x
series is the stable branch that only sees fixes and no feature
additions. After the freeze of jessie, htcondor 8.2.4 has been released which
contains numerous bug fixes. An exhaustive list to the respective
tickets can be found here.

  http://research.cs.wisc.edu/htcondor/manual/v8.2.4/10_3Stable_Release.html

If approved, I'd like to update the package to 8.2.4, change the default
configuration handling to a generally valid approach, and include the new
translation available from the bug tracker.

Thanks in advance for your feedback.

Michael
