7. By Colin Watson on 2009-09-07: * Compress files using gzip -n (cf. debhelper 6.0.6).
* Remove explicit calls to install-docs (cf. debhelper 7.2.3).
6. By Colin Watson on 2009-03-17: * Set up the root user without a password by default, rather than giving
  it an empty password. In this day and age the latter is not really a
  defensible default (LP: #296841).
* Update description of dip group, based on a suggestion by Osamu Aoki
  (closes: #512938).
5. By Colin Watson on 2009-02-06: Document that the staff group is typically root-equivalent (thanks, Guy
Hulbert).
4. By Colin Watson on 2008-09-06: * Allocate uid/gid 64035 for hacluster/haclient (Horms, closes: #494070).
* Moved to bzr.debian.org; add Vcs-Bzr control field.
3. By Colin Watson on 2005-12-15: * Update GPL notices with the FSF's new address.
* Add po4a infrastructure and French translation of update-passwd(8)
(thanks, Nicolas François; closes: #326550).
* Fix syntax error in ssh group documentation.
2. By Colin Watson on 2004-12-04: Add and document static group plugdev, gid 46, for use by pmount and
similar tools to allow local users to mount removable devices without
the need for entries in /etc/fstab (closes: #283233).
1. By Wichert Akkerman <email address hidden> on 2002-02-09: Change directory for gnats to /var/lib/gnats on new installs. Do
not change it for existing systems. Closes: Bug#133121
