Package: libuuid1
Version: 2.20.1-5.2
Severity: serious
User: debian...@lists.debian.org
Usertags: piuparts

Hi,

while trying to test the new ia32-libs packages with piuparts I noticed
that /var/lib/libuuid/ disappears in the following sequence:

* setup minimal amd64 chroot (contains libuuid1:amd64 priority=required)
* dpkg --add-architecture i386
* apt-get install libuuid1:i386
* apt-get purge libuuid1:i386

This may be a more widespread M-A issue ...

I don't know what /var/lib/libuuid/ is being used for ... but removing
it may cause something to malfunction, therefore severity serious.

For creating/removing the directory properly, I'd suggest to ship the
directory in the package (so dpkg will create it and remove it once the
reference count drops to zero), the postinst just needs to set the
proper permissions. 
I can't give advice for purging, depends on who creates something below
/var/lib/libuuid/ and what this is exactly.

Andreas
