I would be more than interested in the reasoning behind this. The
README.Debian file is a file that is in a lot of packages and the
de-facto standard documentation file for people to read up specific
informations about a package. I have no idea why it is needed to have it
mentioned in the package installation output, at all. Also, no other
package doesn't create a user/group when it's already there - this might
make sense for debug runs but not for a regular installation/upgrade of
a package.
So pretty please, be a bit more verbose on why you disagree with this
bugreport. Let me also cite policy 3.9. for you:
#v+
3.9. Maintainer Scripts
-----------------------
The package installation scripts should avoid producing output which
is unnecessary for the user to see
#v-
So I would really be interested in why you think this should request
doesn't apply here. If you prefer I can produce a patch for you to ease
your job.
Thanks in advance,
Rhonda
