Bug#1000709: RFS: dh-sysuser/1.3.6+really1.4.0 -- debhelper addon to handle creation of system users

Package: sponsorship-requests
Severity: normal

Dear mentors,

I am looking for a sponsor for my package "dh-sysuser":

 * Package name    : dh-sysuser
   Version         : 1.3.6+really1.4.0
   Upstream Author : [fill in name and email of upstream]
 * URL             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-sysuser
 * License         : GPL-3+
 * Vcs             : https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-sysuser
   Section         : admin

It builds those binary packages:

  dh-sysuser - debhelper addon to handle creation of system users
  sysuser-helper - dh-sysuser implementation detail

To access further information about this package, please visit the following URL:

  https://mentors.debian.net/package/dh-sysuser/

Alternatively, one can download the package with dget using this command:

  dget -x https://mentors.debian.net/debian/pool/main/d/dh-sysuser/dh-sysuser_1.3.6+really1.4.0.dsc

Git repo:

  https://salsa.debian.org/debian/dh-sysuser/-/tree/next/debian

The autopkgtest is expected to fail because packages that use
dh-sysuser need to be rebuilded in order to fix #1000478,
but there is no regression compared to the current situation
in unstable/testing.
Also I suspect the +really is inaccurate, not sure how/if this
can be properly handled..

Changes since the last upload:

 dh-sysuser (1.3.6+really1.4.0) unstable; urgency=medium
 .
   * Bump Standards-Version to 4.6.0 (no changes required)
   * Update copyright year to 2021
   * Do not attempt to remove nonexistent home as it will
        cause postrm script failure
        + thanks to Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org>
   * Fix user removal on purge (Closes: #1000478);
        the purge logic was wrongly placed in prerm, but
        purge is only performed in postrm
        + thanks to Andrea Bolognani <eof@kiyuko.org>
   * Run sysuser-helper in postrm only if it's installed;
        we need this check now because sysuser-helper
        may be not installed at postrm stage
   * Keep sysuser-helper backward-compatible with
        packages builded with dh-sysuser <=1.3.5.1
   * Relax constrains on future versions of sysuser-helper:
        the 'strictly minor' constrain over the next minor version
        makes upgrades problematic and is the reason for
        the '+really1.4.0' in this version. It makes more sense to
        impose such constrain on the next major (non-backward
        compatible) bump althought it's not clear if it will be of
        any help smoothing a transition.
   * Add sysuser-helper autopkgtest
