Package: udevil
Version: 0.4.4-1+b1
Severity: normal
udevil is a standalone secure mounting tool (and the packaged devmon
tool will use udevil if it is present) - however this package recommends
udisks2 and pmount, causing them to be installed on the system by
default. This defeats the purpose of udevil, since they can be used to
mount things outside of udevil's security model, and with the associated
security bugs etc that the simple udevil tool was made to avoid.
I have been pinged by the udevil programmer over this, hence the random
bug here - the 'official' upstream control has no recommends for this
reason:
https://github.com/IgnorantGuru/udevil/blob/next/distros/debian/control
Please can the 'recommends' packages be removed?
