Control: retitle -1 New upstream release 1.4.0

Hi,

There's now a new upstream release available, 1.4.0.

This release includes changes related to several of the outstanding
debian bts requests, among them:
- libxcrypt support (as discussed in this bug report)
- configurable default setting for usergroups
  https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=583958#103
  https://salsa.debian.org/vorlon/pam/-/merge_requests/3
- etc.

I'm interested in seeing atleast the usergroups issue fixed once and for
all. This is IMO best done by uploading the new upstream release and
adding the necessary debian integration work on top of that. There's so
far not been any input from maintainers on the discussion here. If
maintainers intend to work on the new upstream release or have any
objections towards it being done as a NMU then PLEASE SPEAK UP NOW!

(I have limited time available so don't want to waste it on preparing
the new upstream release if we won't actually upload it.)

If someone else has more time and is interested in working on preparing
the new upstream release, please do so and also please me/us that you're
doing so (by posting to this bug report and CC everyone involved?!).


Regards,
Andreas Henriksson
