Package: chef-solr
Version: 10.12.0+dfsg-1
Severity: normal

chef-solr ships a binary, chef-solr-installer, whose purpose on upstream chef
is to blow away all files relating to the chef-solr installation from /var and
redeploy from a solr.tar.gz pristine image. This image does not ship on Debian,
so running chef-solr-installer completely breaks solr until the package is
reinstalled.
