Public bug reported: Binary package hint: kdeadmin
kuser creates subdirecories in the homes, mimiking other OSes behaviour, but /etc/skel is not used for this. Instead /etc/skel might provide pub/, priv/ and incoming/ directories with correct permissions. And /home/groups/users/writable and /home/groups/users/readonly may be provided. Debian policy states: "Packages other than base-passwd must not modify /etc/passwd, /etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow." (http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.2) ** Affects: kdeadmin (Ubuntu) Importance: Undecided Status: New ** Summary changed: - kmail ignores /etc/skel + kuser ignores /etc/skel ** Description changed: Binary package hint: kdeadmin - kmail creates subdirecories in the homes, mimiking other OSes behaviour, + kuser creates subdirecories in the homes, mimiking other OSes behaviour, but /etc/skel is not used for this.
