I don't think packages should be removing files they didn't create. Also, krb5-user doesn't make sense to me as a package to use for that purpose, since nothing in krb5-user uses the system keytab nor is a system keytab required for normal operations of that package. > On the other hand, it doesn't seem harmful at all to add this as > priority medium or low defaulting to no. It seems like overkill to me, plus makes work for translators. -- Russ Allbery ([email protected]) <http://www.eyrie.org/~eagle/> -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [email protected] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
