Package: backuppc
Version: 2.1.2-6
Severity: wishlist

This wish should also apply to Version 3.0.0-3:
There is no probability setting the nice value for the backuppc daemon
itself. With a nice value of 0, the other user processes are running
very slow during a backup or cleanup process. A (dirty) resolve could
be the following patch. Better would be the use of a
/etc/defaults/backuppc file.
