Comment 3 for bug 126894

I see that I should not use dpatch to change a file in debian/, but I still think that using $PIDFILE to create the needed directory makes a lot of sense: it's a environment variable and therefor might get changed. It does no harm to be on the safe side here, does it?

I've taken the chown line from debian/postinst. Should I change the "." to ":" there, too?

Apart from that, I had already merged the new upstream release and sent a debdiff to the Debian maintainer 10 days ago. No reply yet, but I will re-send it, including this patch.

Thanks for looking into this.
