Package: piuparts
Version: 0.43
Severity: wishlist
piuparts should report modifications to /etc/{passwd,shadow,group}.
This should not be a warning/error of any kind because consensus seems
to be that users should not be removed on purge.
Just report (in a diff like format) the modifications, note that the
files might be reordered without changing functionality, so no report
for such a change of order.
That way we have in the logfile afterwards an "adduser" footprint of the
packages tested.
The contests of these files can easily be added to the chroot_state :-)
It might also be interesting to see, whether there are differences
between passwd/group state after the installation and after purge.
