Package: backuppc
Version: 3.1.0-9
Severity: minor

The /etc/backuppc/htgroup file has no real purpose. The group
membership information is not externalised, and backuppc uses
/etc/group anyway. Since the apache htaccess configuration in
/etc/backuppc/apache.conf also uses "Require valid-user", the group
database is never used and hence pointless. For the sake of clarity,
I suggest to remove it (I thought it was used for admin group
membership, but it's not — admin group membership requires a local
Unix user to become a member of the backuppc group).

Thanks,
