One of the duties of package maintainers is *testing* his/her package before uploading it. So, even if, of course, we cannot test everything, at least a basic "dpkg -i login_... passwd_..." later followed by some basic login tests are assumed to always happen. So, well, we can retitle the bug "Please write a testsuite for shadow building"....and then leave it lie in the BTS for another 5 years, for sure. I sincerely doubt someone will ever take care of writing such a test suite. And I sincerely hope to be proven wrong..:-) -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
