| Package: ssl-cert
| Version: 1.0.25
| Severity: serious

Serious?  What would the justification for that be?

| ssl-cert adds a group at install which is not removed again at purge.

Yes, this is normal behaviour, and I think it's wanted behaviour in this
case as you'll quite easily end up with files not owned by a named group
if we remove the group again.

| Also, since ssl-cert creates only a group, and order of install or purge
| is nondeterministic, other packages cannot reliably cleanup the group if
| they are purged last.

Order of install is determined by dependency fields, quite
deterministic, I'd say.

| Problem discovered during resolving of bug#574214.

This seems to be a missing depends on the group or failing to add the
group if it does not exist already, not in any way related to whether
ssl-cert removes the group on purge.
