Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package modifies files from
another package. This is so wrong, I'm not even bothered to look
up the part of policy this violates ;-P

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m23.6s ERROR: FAIL: debsums reports modifications inside the chroot:
  /var/lib/ni/modules.xml
The file is owned by libopenni0.

If you run the following command after installing the buggy packages
  apt-get install --reinstall libopenni0
/var/lib/ni/modules.xml will be reset to its shipped state. The same
would happen if libopenni0 gets binNMUed for some reason ... so the
current approach is very fragile.

Since modules.xml is used as some kind of registry, it should only be
generated, not shipped at all. Ideally dpkg triggers could be used for
this task.

cheers,

Andreas
