    and to the admin group if no root password is set.
  - Allow the admin group to gain root privileges using sudo.
  - Default passwd/root-login to false.
  - Refuse to apply an empty root password.

* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #50036):
  - Detect and error out on reserved usernames, i.e. those that are
    already used by some parts of the system. Unfortunately there's no
    particularly straightforward way to identify a reserved username, and
    the only way I can think of is to maintain a blacklist; so I've
    collated this from the base-passwd master files and those user and
    group names I found on some of my systems. Feel free to extend this as
    the need arises.
* Backport from trunk (Christian Perrier):
  - Spell "username" consistently.
* Update translations from trunk.

* Backport from trunk:

* Backport from trunk (closes: Malone #16640):
