(Purging is a separate, manual action.)I'd be fine with having them provided as example files in /usr/share/doc with a corresponding README.Or in /usr/lib/openrc/user or something similar. I don't know whether openrc looks file in some such location though. However shipping random files in /usr is much less annoying that adding files to /etc. (/usr/lib/user is probably a bad name to grab by openrc, but so is /etc/user...)
That's a valid point. I find /etc/user a bad and questionable choice. Nowadays, this should be properly namespaced like say /etc/openrc/user.
Even more reason to *not* ship this in the debian package by default. Michael
