[Deborphan-devel] Bug#781302: deborphan: grub2 should not be listed in the default run of deborphan

[Riley Baird]

Package: deborphan
Version: 1.7.28.8-0.1
Severity: normal

Hi,

According to the manpage for deborphan, "The default operation is to search
only within the libs and oldlibs sections to hunt down unused libraries."

However, when I run deborphan with no options, grub2 comes up in the results.
grub2 is in the admin section of the archive. Furthermore, this might cause
someone who doesn't know what grub2 to accidentally remove their bootloader.

This bug could be fixed by adding grub2 to the default /var/lib/deborphan/keep.

Yours thankfully,

Riley Baird
