* The "Yorkshire Blue" release.
* Merge from Debian unstable. Remaining changes:
   - debian/passwd.upstart: Add an upstrat job to clear locks on
     [shadow-]passwd/group. (LP: #523896).
   - Build-depend on gettext:any for cross-building support.
   - Allow LXC devices (lxc/console, lxc/tty[1234]) that we'll start using
     in LXC with Precise.
   - debian/login.defs:
     + Update documentation of USERGROUPS_ENAB: with pam_umask, the UPG
       handling does not only apply to "former (pre-PAM) uses".
     + Update documentation of UMASK: Explain that USERGROUPS_ENAB will modify
       this default for UPGs. (Closes: #583971)
   - debian/{source_shadow.py,rules}: Add apport hook
   - debian/patches/495_stdout-encrypted-password: chpasswd can report
     password hashes on stdout (Debian bug 505640).
* Dropped changes, merged in Debian:
   - Fix case of ttyAMA0-3 devices and move them near the ttyAM0-15 ones;
     Debian #544184; fixes console on Vexpress boards (e.g. in QEMU).
   - use SHA512 by default for password crypt routine.
   - debian/rules: fix FTBFS from newer libtools
   - Mark passwd Multi-Arch: foreign.

* The "Gruyère" release.
* New upstream release:
  - login: log into utmp(x) but not into wtmp (this is done by pam_lastlog).
    Log to utmp(x) was broken by the fix for #605329. Closes: 659957
  - userdel: Fix segfault when userdel removes the user's group.
    Closes: #660406
  - manpages: .so links point to paths relative to the top-level manual
    hierarchy. Closes: #661025
  - useradd(8): Return code 13 no more documented. Closes: #661802
* debian/patches/series, debian/patches/428_grpck_add_prune_option: Removed.
  The -p option was not documented and was meant to fix consequences of a
  bug now fixed more than 10 years ago.
* debian/shadowconfig.sh: Display issues, but dot not prompt interactively
  to fix passwd/group/shadow/gshadow issues. Closes: #638263
* debian/control: Bump Standards-Version to 3.9.3 (no changes needed).
* debian/rules: Simplify setting of hardening flags. cdbs 0.4.103 needed to
  get hardened version of shadow-utils. Restore previous requirement on
  dpkg-dev to 1.13.5.
* Complete Polish translation of logoutd(8). Closes: #668880
* German translation of manpages completed. Closes: #673234
* Separation of static and dynamic motd components in login PAM module
  Closes: #669698
* The "Charolais" release.
* New upstream release:
  - su: Fix possible tty hijacking by dropping the controlling terminal when
    executing a command (CVE-2005-4890). Closes: #628843
  - userdel: Check the existence of the user's mail spool before trying to
    remove it. If it does not exist, a warning is issued, but no failure.
    Closes: #617295
  - userdel: Do not remove a group with the same name as the user
    (usergroup) if this group isn't the user's primary group.
    Closes: #584868
  - su: Close the PAM session as root (fix issues with pam_mount and
    pam_systemd). Closes: #580434
  - Fix several typos in manpages. Thanks to Simon Brandmair.
    Closes: #628776
  - userdel error message has been clarified when the user is still
    executing processes (it used to complain that the user is logged in).
    Closes: #603315
  - passwd(1) references chpasswd(8). Closes: #609117
  - Spaces have been added between options and arguments in the Russian
    manpages. Closes: #606159
  - Fix handling of numerical dates in usermod -e. Closes: #621810
  - usermod: When the shadow file exists but there are no shadow entries, an
    entry is created if the password is changed and passwd requires a shadow
    entry, or if aging features are used (-e or -f). Closes: 632461
  - Added diagnosis for lock failures. Closes: #616167
  - grpck/pwck: NIS entries were dropped by -s (sort). Closes: #622765
  - login does not log into utmp(x) and wtmp. This is already done by
    pam_lastlog. Closes: #605329
  - groupmod: document that /etc/passwd can be modified by groupmod -g.
    Closes: #647308
