Package: dh-sysuser
Version: 1.3
Severity: wishlist
It would be great to have more documentation about how this package
works. I tried looking at the homepage, which is just the git
repository and couldn't find anything.
It's only when I installed the package that i noticed the
dh_sysuser(1) manpage. But then it seems a bit short and only yields
more questions:
1. are users created with adduser? are dependencies injected
properly?
2. how are they created? what is the password? '*'? what about the
shell?
3. is a group created? if not, what group is the user part of?
4. what are the permissions of the home directory? in my use case, it
should be 750 - should i be handling this myself? how do i know
what home directory was used if i don't specify it?
For example, I would recommend mentionning that most of the work is
done by the sysuser-helper binary. I would also mention the special
way /nonexistent is handled and add an EXAMPLES section for quick
copy-pasting.
Thanks!
