Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed that your package creates files in
/root. From the attached log (scroll to the bottom):

0m46.7s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /root/.erlang.cookie   not owned

Creating stuff in /root is a FHS and policy violation. (And of course
these files should not be deleted by maintainer scripts.)
But it is also an indication that the package operation may depend on
root's .erlang configuration (and package installation might even fail if
that configuration is broken). That would be a case for "configuration
files not in /etc".


Cheers,

Andreas
