Fixed.

Yes, I know this. I didn't had a good idea for a solution. Any suggestions?
BTW, you can always redirect the output to a file.

I guess other package will also be broken if you remove their config
files by hand. If /etc/fai is missing, we cannot remove things that
where added to the system when adding the package.

Without fai.conf we do not know the which account to delete.

I've added this as a comment to NFSROOT.

I usually try to support the stable version of Debian as long as
possible, because a lot of FAI users are using stable.

That said, I will often switch the defaults in FAI (like sources.list,
package lists) only a short time before the next release. But I try to
make it easy to use the newest FAI version also for Debian testing.

If there's anything missing for stretch, please let me know, I'll try
to add it ASAP.

And thanks a lot for your feedback.
