Package: unbound-anchor
Version: 1.6.7-1
Severity: wishlist
the dns-root-data package's debian/rules uses unbound-anchor in its
get_orig_source target. It currently specifies the path explicitly,
because it shouldn't need to be run as root.
This is a classic example of a program that doesn't need to be run as
root living in /usr/sbin when it should live in /usr/bin. Let's let
people rely on their standard $PATH without making brittle scripts.
I'm fine with shipping a symlink from /usr/sbin/unbound-anchor so that
we don't break existing brittle scripts, but we shouldn't encourage
creation of more brittle scripts in the first place.
