I am not sure what you mean or why you closed this bug - asking me to
delete any "unusual" directories does not fix the bug in rinse. It's
completely legal in debian to have this directorxy, and some software
requires it - I cannot delete it without breaking other software.
The bug here is clearly in rinse - /usr/etc is not a debian-mandated
directory, so rinse must not rely on it being preesent or absent (see the
debian filesysytem heirarchy standard for example).
Asking users to delete random directories to work around a bug in your
package without fixing it is not acceptable.
