A "funny" bug I reported just got closed. Take a look at it, might be
interesting and enlightening on why shouldn't init scripts run (some tools)
as root.
I still have to push the maintainer to provide OpenBSD's recover file
instead since it does more sanity checks than the aged^Woriginal recover
script.

* Create/fix /var/tmp/vi.recover in postinst (closes: #207720)
* Take more care in handling of recovery files in nviboot. The nviboot
script now ignores entries that are not regular files, calls sendmail
as user "nobody", and send mail to the owner of the recover file, not
the "To:" header in the recovery file. (closes: #298114)
