The thing is that there are many ways that a user might have set their passdb backend which happened to work, but which were never correct according to the documented syntax. I'm pretty sure that "backend1, backend2" was not the documented syntax, and that it was rather always "backend1 backend2". I don't know why you had that comma there, but in general I don't think Debian should take responsibility for fixing up user config files wrt changes in the strictness of implementing the documented syntax -- only when the approved syntax changes. If you can point me to some resource that said to use the comma, then I'll happily implement that check. -- Steve Langasek Give me a lever long enough and a Free OS Debian Developer to set it on, and I can move the world.
