 Hi, 
  
 I'm not a user of Debian Edu myself, 
 but I see it was being tested in OpenQA 
 and it involves little effort to add proper 
 suport for it to my own "cruft-ng" QA effort. 
  
  
 These are two lists of volatile files considered normal to be present on 
 Debian Edu systems: 
  
 https://sources.debian.org/src/cruft-ng/0.9.75/rules/debian-edu-config 
  /etc/chromium/policies/managed/debian-edu-homepage-ldap.json 
  /etc/firefox-esr/debian-edu-homepage-ldap.js 
  /etc/debian-edu/config 
  /etc/default/enable-nat 
  /etc/xdg/menus/applications-merged 
  /etc/xdg/menus/gnome-applications.menu 
  /etc/xdg/menus/lxde-applications.menu 
  /etc/xdg/menus/lxqt-applications.menu 
  /etc/xdg/menus/mate-applications.menu 
  /usr/share/lightdm/lightdm-gtk-greeter.conf.d/02debian-edu.conf 
  /var/lib/dovecot 
  /var/lib/dovecot/auth_success 
  
 https://sources.debian.org/src/cruft-ng/0.9.75/rules/debian-edu-install 
  /etc/debian-edu/config 
  /etc/debian-edu/xdebian-edu-firstboot 
  /var/log/installer/cfengine-edu-install.log 
  
  
 After applying these two heuristics lits in cruft-ng. 
 There remains these unexplained files hereunder. 
  
 The .cf-before-edit & .cfsaved might belong to debian-edu-* 
 or cfengine3, I don't know. 
  
 The /.gitconfig file should _not_ be there. 
  
 Any tool needing some git interaction should have used 
 /tmp/something as a $HOME, and not let little crumbs behind. 
  
 Now the three-letters "git" word is not the most pleasant thing to grep for, 
  
  
  
  found this.debian-edu-install/tools/edu-etcvcs:    if [ -x /tar 
 et/usr/bin/etckeeper ] && [ -d /target/etc/.git ]; then 
  
  
  
 Greetings 
  
 Alexandre
