* 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.

Tidy up after Malone bug #34606, which left passwords exposed in
/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat, by removing those passwords;
for good measure, make /var/log/installer/cdebconf/world-unreadable if
this bug is detected.

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.
