user-setup 1.26ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

user-setup (1.26ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Add the initial user to the adm, dip, lpadmin, and sambashare groups
      too, and to the admin group if no root password is set. Do not add
      them to the audio, video, floppy, dip, netdev, powerdev, or scanner
      groups.
    - Allow the admin group to gain root privileges using sudo.
    - Default passwd/root-login to false.
    - Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell.
    - Make is_system_user always return false if OVERRIDE_SYSTEM_USER is
      set.
    - Add preseedable passwd/auto-login question; if set to true, configure
      gdm and kdm for automatic login. Add passwd/auto-login-backup question
      which backs up the previous contents of the files as well.
    - Ask whether the user wants to encrypt their home directory.
    - If user-setup/allow-password-empty is preseeded to true, allow empty
      passwords.
    - Disable installation of pre-pkgsel.d/10kdesudo; it does nothing for
      Ubuntu, and causes a confusing message that worries some people.
    - Add weak password detection (purely length-based for now, matching
      partman-crypto).
    - Consider a password of '!' in shadow for root to be unset.
  * Rearrange our templates file to put all Ubuntu-specific entries at the
    end, to simplify future merges.
  * Drop compatibility for passwd/allow-password-empty, as promised in the
    changelog for 1.23ubuntu14.

user-setup (1.26) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * user-setup-apply: remove unused variable OPTS.
  * user-setup-apply: restore compatibility with Lenny version of passwd
    (without PAM support).

  [ Otavio Salvador ]
  * user-setup-apply: use dpkg-query instead of dpkg -s to get the passwd
    package version. Thanks to Adeodato Simó for the tip.

user-setup (1.25) unstable; urgency=low

  * Brown paper bag release
  * Do not use chpasswd when the password has been preseeded.
    Thanks to Nicolas François for pointing this.

user-setup (1.24) unstable; urgency=low

  [ Colin Watson ]
  * Be more careful about test arguments in the root_password function, in
    case (for example) the encrypted password string is "!" (thanks, Uli
    Heller; LP: #307443).

  [ Joey Hess ]
  * Add initial user to scanner group, (created by libsane).

  [ Frans Pop ]
  * Remove myself as uploader.

  [ Luk Claes ]
  * Add myself as uploader.
  * Disable root account and activate sudo when there is no root passwd given.

  [ Christian Perrier ]
  * No longer use the "-m" switch of chpasswd. It uses PAM now and no
    longer has this switch. The password will use settings from
    libpam-runtime, so MD5 by default.
    Closes: #529475
  * Replace chpasswd by usermod to set pre-encrypted passwords.
    Thanks to Jordi Pujol for the patch.
    Closes: #528610
  * Use 6 as debhelper compatibility level
  * Bump Standards to 3.8.1 (checked, no change)
  * Add lintian overrides
