* Pick up version number for "update-passwd --version" from autoconf,
  rather than having a separate manually-updated and out-of-date
  version.h.
* Convert hand-crafted Makefiles to Automake.
* users-and-groups: Add a little more commentary on gnats.

[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove config.h.in and configure, now autogenerated by dh-autoreconf.
* Change the shell of all global static users other than root (which
  retains /bin/sh) and sync (as /bin/sync is rather harmless) to
  /usr/sbin/nologin (closes: #274229; LP: #216813, #248844).
* Policy version 3.9.5.

[ Russ Allbery ]
* Add support for debconf prompting to update-passwd (closes: #184979).

* Use dh-autoreconf.
* Switch to git; adjust Vcs-* fields.
* Only update POT/PO files at clean time if man/Makefile exists.

Force gzip compression for .deb, to avoid causing problems for
debootstrap on non-Debian-based systems following dpkg 1.17.0.

* Update to Autoconf 2.69.
* Convert packaging to a modern debhelper style. The original reason for
  avoiding helper tools in base-passwd was to ease bootstrapping; but
  nowadays the sensible way to bootstrap is to cross-build, and all the
  helper tools are Multi-Arch: foreign so can safely be used in
  cross-building environments.

Build-depend on dpkg (>= 1.16.4) | sgml-base (<< 1.26+nmu2) to ensure
that #675613 does not cause incorrect generation of documentation
(closes: #678570).

10. By Colin Watson on 2012-06-22

* users-and-groups: Document historical meaning of sys user/group (thanks
  to Mantas M. for the tip).
* Use dpkg-buildflags to enable hardening options (based on a patch from
  Moritz Muehlenhoff; closes: #655501).
* Update users-and-groups documentation of the sudo group to describe
  current behaviour and mention pkexec (thanks, Luca Capello; closes:
  #650553).

Mark base-passwd Multi-Arch: foreign.
