Created: 86_disable_existing_group_for_new_username.patch - disables the
ability to create a new user whose name is owned by a perviously defined
group, which, if allowed to happen, would overwrite the old group. If this
happened to 'admin', for example, would render any system adminstration by
sudoers impossible (LP: #236305).

* New upstream release (LP: #273579)
  - Mark interface as active if it wasn't previously configured, and as
    auto if it's been (or already was) activated
  - Translation update
* 90_from_svn_correctly_configure_interface.patch: removed as applied
  upstream
* 98_automake.patch: some changes to comply with new source file

* GtkAdjustment behaviour has changed to restrict the range of the values.
  From the GTK README:
    GtkAdjustment now enforces that values are restricted to the
    range [lower, upper - page_size]. This has always been the
    documented behaviour, and the recommended practice is to set
    page_size to 0 when using adjustments for simple scalar values,
    like in a slider or spin button.
  This change meant that the time couldn't be set to greater than 13:49:49,
  as the upper was 23:59:59 and the page_sizes 10:10:10.
  debian/patches/91_time_admin_adjustment.patch corrects this by reducing
  the page_sizes to 0, as recommended in the above quote.

* Merge from Debian (LP: #242880). Remaining changes:
  - Make it possible to create a group by using the tool by not
    ignoring the group name that was chosen. (LP: #205144)
    This is debian/patches/85_users_fix_add_group.patch.
    - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=529228
    - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488249
  - change from svn, correctly configure the network interfaces,
    thanks to the different people who worked on the issue (lp: #185854)
    debian/patches/90_from_svn_correctly_configure_interface.patch:
    - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=526137
    - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488250
  - debian/control, debian/control.in: remove gksu from Depends, add
    policykit-gnome to Recommends; needed to press the Unlock button
    in network-admin, LP: #206198.
    - Ubuntu-specific as Debian hasn't enabled policykit.
  - If a user already exists then set the home directory text box
    to display their home directory, rather than the default for their
    profile. This avoids changing the homedir inadvertantly when
    a user's homedir isn't the default for their profile, in
    particular the root user on Ubuntu. (LP: #198172)
    - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=523180
    - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488252
  - list the sambashare group as known so it can be used when adding users
    debian/patches/25_sambashare_group_definition.patch:
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - list the lpadmin group as known so it can be used when adding users
    (lp: #152107)
    debian/patches/24_lpadmin_group_definition.patch:
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - Add some extra known services for services-admin.
    - debian/patches/10_add_missing_services.patch
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - debian/patches/22_root_only.patch:
    - really remove this change which is not used nor required
    - Ubuntu-specific.
  - translate extra shares admin strings (lp: #200107)
    debian/patches/84_translate_extra_strings.patch:
    - http://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=522276
    - Not needed in Debian, as they don't have extra translations.
  - Build-dep in libpolkit-dbus-dev >=0.5 to get policykit support.
    - Ubuntu-specific.
  - Update the internal model of users and groups with each operation, so
    that it does not become inconsistent with the real world in /etc/passwd
    and /etc/group.
    - This fixes random errors like "unrelated user was dropped from group
      admin", "deleted a different user than the one selected in users-admin",
      etc.
    - Patch backported from SVN head:
      http://svn.gnome.org/viewvc/gnome-system-tools?view=revision&revision=4017
    - LP: #26338
    - debian/patches/23_users_update_model.patch:
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - don't Recommends gnome-control-center since the current version
    doesn't require it (LP: #137915)
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - Replace "Bootloaders" and "Runlevels" with "Services" and "Shares"
    in the description.
    - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488255

    - http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=488260
  - Install nfs, ntp and samba on demand.
    - Unsure if this should be forwarded to Debian.
  - Don't show "shares-admin" under GNOME.
    - debian/patches/11_shares_admin_not_listed_under_gnome.patch
    - Ubuntu-specific.
