Shipping it with the wrong UID/GID might work, but could create problems. Removing the SReview user seems wrong.

Bug#905500: sreview-common: unowned directory after purge: /var/lib/sreview/
Package: sreview-common Version: 0.3.1-2 Severity: important User: debian...@lists.debian.org Usertags: piuparts Hi, during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned directories on the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8: https://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/#details-of-removal-and-or-configuration-purging Filing this as important as having a piuparts clean archive is a release goal since lenny. The maintainer scripts create (and later remove) a file in that directory. Manual directory removal may be not appropriate as this directory is shared between several packages. If the package would ship this as an empty directory, dpkg would take care of the creation and removal (if it's empty). >From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...): 1m9.1s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system: /var/lib/sreview/ not owned cheers, Andreas sreview-common_0.3.1-2.log.gz Description: application/gzip
