Source: djbdns Version: 1:1.05-15 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch dh-sysusers exists since 7 years and has gained 9 users in that time - djbdns being one of them. Still it has a number of deficiencies such as using useradd instead of the policy-recommended adduser or removing users during package removal against project consensus and is not making progress on addressing them. Meanwhile, a viable alternative with larger adoption exists: sysusers.d. This mechanism is built into debhelper and it no longer requires using systemd as multiple implementations now exist. I therefore think it is time to call dh-sysusers a failed experiment and move on. Do you agree with this reasoning? I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Since djbdns currently FTBFS #1066632, I also had to fix that and my patch also fixes that. Helmut
