Stop including passwd.templates in initial-passwd-udeb.templates; it's
no longer necessary with passthrough, and it triggers a debconf-copydb
bug which wipes out all translations in the target configdb.

* SECURITY UPDATE: Root privilege escalation.
* debian/patches/360_setuid_failure:
  - src/passwd.c: Check for failing setuid() (which can happen if user hits
    PAM limits). Before, passwd continued to run as root and executed
    chfn/chsh/gpasswd as root instead of as the user.
  - Thanks to Sune Kloppenborg Jeppesen for pointing this out.
