Hi,

during a test with piuparts I noticed your package removes files that
were
installed by another package.

This is a serious bug violating policy 7.6, see
http://www.debian.org/doc/debian-policy/ch-relationships.html#s-replaces

>From the attached log (scroll to the bottom...):

0m26.8s ERROR: FAIL: After purging files have disappeared:
  /etc/dpkg-cross/	 owned by: dpkg-cross, libdebian-dpkgcross-perl
  /etc/dpkg-cross/archtable.d/	 owned by: libdebian-dpkgcross-perl
  /etc/dpkg-cross/archtable.d/archtable.default	 owned by: libdebian-dpkgcross-perl


cheers,

Andreas
