Secure testing team - Jan 2012 - Bug#653959: citadel-server was auto-selected and installed by dist-upgrade for what appears to be no good reason, and apt-get purge citadel-server failed to back out all system changes

Source: citadel-server
Version: wheezy
Severity: serious
Tags: security
Justification: Policy 3.5

apt-get dist-upgrade decided to install citadel-server (no I didn''t
know what it was) for who-knows-what reason.
Install created a new publicly listening service (never a good thing
security-wise)
Install created a new user & group
an immediate apt-get purge citadel-server failed to back out the
user,group,extra directories in /var
