Currently, if a new passwd-package is created, passwd-core gets a new
version and so all the other passwd-* packages need to be rebuilt and
reinstalled (which includes running dscl again for each one).
I propose taking the passwd-* packages and moving them off from the
SplitOffs and to separate .info files. This way, when a new passwd-*
package is created, passwd-core is updated to hold the new user:group
info in /sw/etc/{group,passwd}-fink and the new passwd-foo package just
needs to Dep on the new passwd-core version. The other passwd-*
packages are untouched and don't need to be reinstalled because of a
version bump.
Benefits: existing passwd-* packages are not unnecessarily bumped when
passwd-core is changed. dscl no longer called X times for a single new
package.
Drawbacks: each passwd-* pkg gets its own info file, and so any passwd
wide changes needs to make sure all the passwd packages get it if needed
(say a new removal procedure) and no file is accidentally missed.
