Agreed. And while we're at it, stop packaging /etc/shadow and /etc/gshadow,
those files are not meant to be touched by anything but the designated
tools, least of all be manually merged.  If TEMPEST means anything to you,
manually merging shadow files using an editor is as bad as plastering your
passwords all over your front door.
