Package: fai
Version: 2.8.2
Severity: grave
In postrm, FAI does
rm -rf /etc/fai ...
dpkg installs four files into /etc/fai. It is possible that the
maintainer drops additional files into this directory -- there is
nothing preventing him/her from doing so, the policy makes /etc the
"space of the administrator". If FAI gets purged, these files also
get deleted, which may cause fits of raving madness and suicide
attempts.
Please remove /etc/fai from the list of directories to delete
recursively in postrm. It is okay for postrm to remove files from
other parts of the filesystem, just not /etc.
In fact, since all four official files in /etc/fai are handled by
dpkg, it needs not be handled explicitly at all: dpkg will remove
those files on a purge, and also remove the directory if and only if
it is then empty.
Thanks for your consideration.
