Package: amavisd-new
Version: 1:2.2.1-1
Severity: minor
Tags: experimental

I just upgraded from testing to experimental.

Looks like postinst should check to see if the amavis user and group
already exist and are set up properly (right uid/gid/home/etc) and if so,
don't mess with them.

Output:

Creating/updating amavis user account...
The group `amavis' already exists as a system group. Exiting...
adduser: Warning: The home dir you specified already exists.
The user `amavis' already exists as a system user. Exiting...


These are bad and confusing status messages for a newbie.  If things
are correct, don't say anything.  If things are busted, say clearly
why.  "Exiting..." doesn't say whether or not you exited well or not.
