Package: crossgrader Version: 0.0.3+nmu3 Severity: important Dear Maintainer,
crossgrader is a great and helpful tool. Many thanks for providing it! But what I noticed when removing the package after usage, does makes me quiet unhappy. The initramfs-hook is not removed (or not removed properly) so that update-initramfs fails because of "ModuleNotFoundError: No module named 'debian_crossgrader'".[2] In one case this left a system unbootable because the initrd for a new kernel "delivered" by apticron was not built. When needrestart rebooted the machine it did not come up again. So, coming to the point. As far as I see Debian Policy says "The package’s files are removed (except conffiles)." in 6.8 point 2. Please kindly check whether an increase of severity to 6 serious is appropriate. My expectation is that the hook is implemented in a way so that it can be removed when removing or purging the package crossgrader. Maybe placing it inside of the existing file /usr/share/initramfs-tools/hook-functions[1] is the only way (currently), but then it needs to be removed from there when removing the package. Maybe there are other places, possibly /etc/initramfs-tools/hooks/?
