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
