+Tag: package-contains-file-in-etc-skel
+Severity: error
+Check: files/names
+Explanation: This package ships the specified file under <code>/etc/skel</code>. Files
+ in this directory are copied into new user accounts by <code>adduser(8)</code>.
+ .
+ However, <code>/etc/skel</code> should be empty as possible as there is no
+ mechanism for ensuring files are copied into the accounts of existing
+ users when the package is installed.
+ .
+ Please remove the installation of this file, ensuring this package
+ can automatically create them or can otherwise function without them.
