Package: openstack-dashboard-apache
Version: 2012.1.1-10
Severity: important
openstack-dashboard-apache uses debconf as a registry, see [1]. The values
from debconf override admin choices at package upgrades, they do not default to
the current configuration.
[1] <http://lintian.debian.org/tags/debconf-is-not-a-registry.html>
In addition the prerm maintainer script enables apache's default site even if
it wasn't enabled before. This also happens on upgrades of
openstack-dashboard-apache itself.

PS: chown -R in maintainer scripts is usually bad as well... Let www-data
hardlink /bin/bash to /var/lib/openstack-dashboard/static/foo, wait for
upgrade, profit.
