Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package left unowned files on
the system after purge, which is a violation of policy 6.8:

http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-maintainerscripts.html#s-removedetails

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m26.0s ERROR: FAIL: Package purging left files on system:
  /home/Debian-dsc-statistics	 not owned


As putting files into /home is also a violation of
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-opersys.html#s9.1.2
I'm setting the severity to serious.

You probably want to use something like
  adduser --system ...

cheers,

Andreas
