Package: debconf-doc
Version: 1.5.61

The use of "su - " in postinst is breaking package installs/upgrades only when there are file(s) in /etc/profile.d.

Details are in the two bug reports:

https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=884955
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=875958

I do not know what other packages may use "su - " but would suggest that this issue be documented in debconf-doc so maintainers/devs can avoid this. If I should file this some place else, please let me know.

Thank you.
