Package: wwwoffle Version: 2.8e-2 Severity: serious Justification: Violates "must" clause of the policy
/etc/cron.d/wwwoffle contains: # If you want to disable this, comment out the line # below (don't simply remove this file). and indeed the postinst scripts recreates the file if it has been deleted. However, the policy says clearly: ,---- | 10.7.3 Behavior | | Configuration file handling must conform to the following behavior: | | * local changes must be preserved during a package upgrade, and | * configuration files must be preserved when the package is | removed, and only deleted when the package is purged. `---- Local modifications also include file deletion. You can't override this rule by simply saying "don't do that".
