Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package failed to install,
remove+purge, and install again.

Like a plain failure on initial install this makes the package too buggy
for a release, thus the severity.

This is often a problem with the home directory of a system user:
the user is not deleted during purge (which is fine), but the home
directory is removed. Since the user already exists on the next
installation, adduser won't recreate the home.

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



cheers,
