Package: general
Severity: normal

putting the home directory of users like postgres or especially backuppc 
in their data directory makes routine scans of tiger over the homes directory 
for user related suspect files work significantly slower.

there is no reason to scan those directories, since they contain structured 
data only, but only accidental logins of those users may bring bad thing here, 
and this should be the second reason not to set their homedirs here.

As said, there is basically no point in reporting this to general. If
you think there's a bug in some packages, individual bugs should be
reported to those packages.

As I saw nobody objecting to this, I therefore close the general BR.
