Package: eucalyptus-nc
Version: 1.6.2
Severity: normal

This following has some problems, see the # lines

if [ "$1" = "configure" ]
then
    adduser eucalyptus libvirtd 2>&1 > /dev/null || true
    adduser eucalyptus libvirt 2>&1 > /dev/null || true

    EUCA_HOME=`getent passwd eucalyptus | cut -f6 -d:`

	# It should be checked if [ -z "$EUCA_HOME" ]
	# and the script should fail if not

    if ! [ -d "$EUCA_HOME/.ssh" ]
    then
        mkdir -p "$EUCA_HOME/.ssh" 
    fi
    if ! [ -f "$EUCA_HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys" ]
    then
        touch "$EUCA_HOME/.ssh/authorized_keys"  || true
    fi


    chown -R eucalyptus:eucalyptus /var/lib/eucalyptus/.ssh || true 
	# This should most likely be $EUCA_HOME, not /var/lib/eucalyptus

    update-rc.d eucalyptus-nc start 99 2 3 4 5 . stop 20 0 1 6 . >/dev/null


	# The stopping should be performed when the current package is removed,
	# but I don't really mind this here...

    if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        invoke-rc.d eucalyptus-nc stop > /dev/null 2>&1 ||true
    else
        /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-nc stop > /dev/null 2>&1 ||true
    fi

    if which invoke-rc.d >/dev/null 2>&1; then
        invoke-rc.d eucalyptus-nc start ||true
    else
        /etc/init.d/eucalyptus-nc start ||true
    fi
fi
