Package: debootstrap Version: 1.0.74 Severity: wishlist Dear debootstrap maintainers,
thanks for your work in this tool, it's just awesome :-) Yesterday I noticed that debootstrap is installing nfacct and related libs by default. I simply ignore how do deboostrap chooses which packages to install. nfacct is a software by the Netfilter project to perform network accouting by means of iptables. It has a very specific pourpose, and I think it's not used unless you are running an accounting firewall or other network application to perform accounting. Which I bet is very rare. I guess that 100% of users of nfacct are fine if they have to manually install it with aptitude or other method after running debootstrap. I was told on a debian channel (IRC) that there is no reason to not install it, it's a very small package after all. But again, the nfacct software has very specific pourpose and little usage for most of people both in the desktop land and the server land. I wonder if nfacct being installed by debootstrap is the reason behind the abnormal popcon values [0]. thanks, best regards. [0] https://qa.debian.org/popcon.php?package=nfacct
