[Adduser-devel] Bug#551929: adduser: /etc/deluser.conf is not considered

[Denis Laxalde]

Package: adduser
Version: 3.111
Severity: important

In version 3.111, the configuration file /etc/deluser.conf seems not to
be considered any more when deluser is invoked.
In particular,
 - a backup archive is created when options --remove-home or
   --remove-all-files are used despite `BACKUP = 0` in /etc/deluser.conf
 - file system proc (among others maybe) is scanned when option
   --remove-all-files is used despite 
   `EXCLUDE_FSTYPES = "(proc|sysfs|usbfs|devpts|tmpfs)"` in /etc/deluser.conf

With 3.110, deluser behaves correctly.
