Package: dh-sysuser
Version: 1.3
Severity: wishlist
It would be great to have more documentation about how this package
works. I tried looking at the homepage, which is just the git
repository and couldn't find anything.
It's only when I installed the package that i noticed the
dh_sysuser(1) manpage. But then it seems a bit short and only yields
more questions:
1. are users created with adduser? are dependencies injected
properly?
2. how are they created? what is the password? '*'? what about the
shell?
3. is a group created? if not, what group is the user part of?
4. what are the permissions of the home directory? in my use case, it
should be 750 - should i be handling this myself? how do i know
what home directory was used if i don't specify it?
For example, I would recommend mentionning that most of the work is
done by the sysuser-helper binary. I would also mention the special
way /nonexistent is handled and add an EXAMPLES section for quick
copy-pasting.
Thanks!

Description:
dh-sysuser - debhelper addon to handle creation of system users
sysuser-helper - dh-sysuser implementation detail
Closes: 844342 848239 848240
Changes:
dh-sysuser (1.3.1) unstable; urgency=medium
.
* Fix description of sysuser-helper package: s/it's/its. (Closes: #844342)
+ Thanks: Toby Speight <t.m.speight...@cantab.net>
* Remove system user without home directory at package uninstall. If
there is no home directory, it seems safe to assume that no files
belong to that user, and removing that user will not cause harm.
* Create system users with /usr/sbin/nologin as shell.
* Do not impose dependency on bin:adduser. It is unneeded, since
bin:sysuser-helper uses useradd(8), which is provided by bin:passwd,
with is of required priority.
* Document in manpage, that sysuser-helper delegates its job to useradd(8)
(Closes: #848240)
* Remove useless account locking in prerm.
* Ensure that content of /etc/skel is not copied into home directory.
* Update Vcs-* and Homepage fields in debian/control.
* Update standards version to 4.1.3 (no changes needed)
* Bump compat version to 11 (no changes needed)
* Document and implement login, that system user is removed
when it has either empty home directory or none at all (Closes: #848239)
