Well, thanks for bringing more input about this, Herbert. I think that we now have enough material to decide what should be done. Probably not soon now as we are in the process of cleaning out the shadow package mess and we have more urgent things like resyncing with upstream. So, I will *not* close this bug. I will tag it as "must be discussed Debian-wide" to decide whether add-shell is to be moved to some other package...or just to its own package. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
