+# cannot get a situation where there are log files in
+# /var/log/debug-me which need to be chowned to the UID of the new
+# _debug-me user.
+#
+# If the postrm is ever changed not to delete the logs in
+# /var/log/debug-me even on a package purge, but instead to chown them
+# to root, or similar, we would need something like the following
+# (untested):
+#
+# for f in /var/log/debug-me/*; do
+#     if test -f "$f"; then
+#         links="$(stat --format=%h \"$f\")"
+#         if test $links -eq 1; then
+#             chown _debug-me:_debug-me "$f"
