Package: galileo-daemon
Version: 0.5.1-9.1
Severity: wishlist
Tags: patch
Hi,
dh-sysusers exists since about 7 years and has gotten 9 users in that
time - galileo-daemon being one of them. It still has a number of
deficiencies such as using useradd instead of policy-recommended adduser
or removing users on package removal against project consensus. I think
it is time to call this a failed experiment and move to the declarative
sysusers.d mechanism used by many more packages which also is available
in multiple implementations now such that it can be used with
non-systemd systems. Do you agree with the reasoning? I'm attaching a
patch for your convenience.
Helmut
