Hey. It seems the package should contain the directory: /var/lib/debian-security-support Also, this seems to be not cleaned up when the package is removed. Cheers, Chris.
Hi & thanks for your bugreport, but... :) what's the impact of this?
Well that's rather cosmetic... I think it's nice if a package shows what it uses. This allows for quick searching via things like apt-file search and people can easier find if they use something for their own stuff, which another package already uses. But the main point of this ticket was anyway the missing cleanup :-) Cheers, Chris.
Hi, ah, ok, thanks. :) so this is both nice stuff to have for bookworm :) btw I'd be glad if you (or any other DD) could push fixes to the master branch in git... (I'll be happy to handle uploading.)
