 install)
 [ x$2 = x ]  shadowconfig on
 ;;
 esac
 
 exit 0
 
 but install is not a documented argument to postinst (only preinst
 accepts it).  This seems to have originated with the solution to
 #316219 and/or #319138.  You might just use:
 
   [ -z $2 ]  shadowconfig

Just for the sake of it, I double-checked in the policy and I agree
with you. Running shadowconfig each time the second argument of
postinst is empty guarantees that it will be run only on first
installs of the package.

In short, I'm OK with the patch..:)

Unless it gets purged and later reinstalled :)
This is actually slightly less hypothetical than one might think,
because of Provides:

Package: passwd-local
Provides: passwd
Conflicts: passwd
Replaces: passwd
[...]

apt-get --purge install passwd-local passwd-

Well, yes, but I don't see this as really a problem.
