Oh, and the fun continues:

Setting up mldonkey-server (2.7.7-4) ...
Please set both variables MLDONKEY_USER and MLDONKEY_GROUP in /etc/default/mldonkey-server
invoke-rc.d: initscript mldonkey-server, action "start" failed.
dpkg: error processing mldonkey-server (--configure):
 subprocess post-installation script returned error exit status 1
Errors were encountered while processing:
 mldonkey-server

Sorry, WTF? It was purged, of course there is no such setting.

Eduard.
