Package: pulseaudio
Version: 2.0-5
Severity: important
Hi.
Severity important as it IMHO contradicts the FHS and is thereby against the
Debian Policy.
pulseaudio seems to create /.pulse and /.pulse-cookie (again and again).
The root of the filesystem is surely not the place for any Tom, Dick and Harry
to create files there, neither pulseaudio.
I guess these files should likely go to some place below /var.
Cheers,
Chris.

Just for the record: In stable we have 1.1.3-1 which doesn't fit to
this bug. Debian alsa pkg maintainers won't fix any older version
than that. So I close this bug hereby. BTW stable can run sysvinit
very well.
