In Debian Policy 3.5.6.0 section 10.2.1 it says:
Packages other than base-passwd must not modify /etc/passwd,
/etc/shadow, /etc/group or /etc/gshadow.
This is followed by a discussion about how packages can modify these
files using adduser.
What does "modify" mean in this context. Is it really "provide",
"replace", or "overwrite"? I believe this note should be clearer.
Thanks,
Ben
