Package: pbuilder
Version: 0.164
Severity: grave
Justification: causes non-serious data loss
I attach a log file of a script session. The commands were
=====================================
export LANG=C
aptitude install pbuilder
cp /etc/pbuilderrc /etc/pbuilderrc.bak
echo >> /etc/pbuilderrc.bak
ls -l /etc/pbu*
aptitude purge pbuilder
ls -l /etc/pbu*
=====================================
I wanted a backup of my pbuilderrc to survive the purge. For reasons unknown to
me, /etc/pbuilderrc.bak was removed as well (the 'echo' command is just to
ensure that the files are indeed different).

As Junichi explained this is the intended behaviour, so I'm closing
this non bug.
