I'd prefer if Debian-packaged stuff came with fewer modifications to stock where possible; I think they're a little bit too eager to poke at things.
I'm thinking of some auto-maintenance stuff for MySQL, and a Debian change to atop which made it log to /var/run (an in-memory file system) - see https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atop/+bug/1393175 https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/atop/+bug/1393175 .
- jordigh 7y agoI like Debian's changes. I don't like it when some software thinks it should be putting runtime data in /etc or configuration in /var. Or when an executable doesn't have a manpage, not even a brief one. Debian has a Policy that describes how packages should behave, and I appreciate the consistency it enforces.
