WTF? Since when fd.o decides how should I organize _my home_ directory? The package (some) didn't showed me any questions and changed my home directory in the way it wants? What if some package tomorrow will decide that some files in my home directory is unneeded and delete them because someone decided that not having these kind of files is "standard"? How can I trust such a system? That's horrible... I would say Debian should never have such a "tools". I would either drop any dependency on the culprit package that is stronger than 'Suggests' or patch it to at least show questions to choose what kind of directories I like to have, maybe using debconf, but in not under any circumstances by default without confirmation. P.S. no need to CC me, I'm just subscribed to this bug. -- Eugene V. Lyubimkin aka JackYF, JID: jackyf.devel(maildog)gmail.com C++/Perl developer, Debian Maintainer
