Source: qemu-web-desktop Version: 24.01.19+ds1-4 Severity: wishlist Tags: patch
dh-sysuser is in operation for 7 years now and has gotten 8 users - qemu-web-desktop being one of them. In that time, it didn't quite mature and still has a number of deficiencies such as using useradd instead of policy-recommended adduser or removing users on package removal against project consensus for keeping users. I think it is time to call dh-sysuser a failed experiment and move to the standard sysusers.d mechanism used by many more packages. It has multiple implementations now such that it does not force systemd onto installations anymore. Do you agree with my reasoning? I'm attaching a patch for your convenience. Helmut
