Bug#377948: TAG: Webmin -- A web-based administration interface for Unix systems.



Hi!

Just out of curiosity I downloaded the package above.

Looking at it with "dpkg -c", shows a lot of stuff to be installed to
/usr/libexec/webmin/.  Which seems odd to me, since
a) curently there are no packages in debian installing something to
   /usr/libexec
b) most of it seems to be architecture independend and should therefore
   be in /usr/share/fooo
c) Uhm... btw... how did you created a debian package without any
   architecture part (e.g. webmin_1.290_all.deb or webmin_1.290_i386.deb)
d) it missed necassary files, like the debian changelog, copyright
   information etc.
e) It seems to install files with jcameron/uucp as uid/gid?
f) Hmmm... the old webmin packages were splitted in many smaller
   packages; I think that was usefull


Yours sincerely,
  Alexander
