Package: lintian
Version: 2.15.0
Severity: normal

postgresql-12 is using debconf in the purge phase only:

purge_package () {
    # ask the user if they want to remove clusters. If debconf is not
    # available, just remove everything
    if [ -e /usr/share/debconf/confmodule ]; then
        db_set $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE/postrm_purge_data true
        db_input high $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE/postrm_purge_data || :
        db_go || :
        db_get $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE/postrm_purge_data || :
        [ "$RET" = "false" ] && return 0
    fi

This triggers unused-debconf-template:

I: postgresql-12: unused-debconf-template postgresql-12/postrm_purge_data
N:
N:    Templates which are not used by the package should be removed from the
N:    templates file.
N:
N:    This will reduce the size of the templates database and prevent
N:    translators from unnecessarily translating the template's text.
N:
N:    In some cases, the template is used but Lintian is unable to determine
N:    this. Common causes are:
N:
N:    - the maintainer scripts embed a variable in the template name in order
N:    to allow a template to be selected from a range of similar templates
N:    (e.g. db_input low start_$service_at_boot)
N:
N:    - the template is not used by the maintainer scripts but is used by a
N:    program in the package
N:
N:    - the maintainer scripts are written in perl. Lintian currently only
N:    understands the shell script debconf functions.
N:
N:    If any of the above apply, please install an override.
N:
N:    Severity: minor, Certainty: possible
N:
N:    Check: debconf, Type: binary, udeb, source

I'm filing this bug because "postrm" isn't listed among the common
causes. Please either check postrm as well, or mention it there.

If the problem is rather $DPKG_MAINTSCRIPT_PACKAGE, please support
that use.

Thanks,
Christoph

Hi,

> unused-debconf-template triggers when template is used in postrm only

This was fixed in 2.16.0 but was missing a debian/changelog entry due
to gbp-dch snafu.
