Package: jed-common
Version: 1:0.99.19-2.1
Severity: normal
I am not sure whether this is a policy violation, but it is most
probably a surprise for most users. In Debian I expect all files under
/usr to come from packages, and thus be static. This is not the case
for the *.slc files that are written to /usr/share/jed/lib during
postinst with a call to /usr/share/jed/compile/jed-common install.
In my expectations, such files should be in /var/lib since they're
variable data and not registered with the packaging system.
Greetings
Marc
