Package: shadow Severity: normal Tags: patch d-i As the new user full name is now prompted before the new user login, the paragraph about new user creation needs to me moved there. Currently both prompts look a bit strange in Debian Installer.
Due to a possible next release and as shadow is closely used in Debian Installer, do you think you'll be able to incorporate this patch soon? Indeed, I can propose you, Karl, to do myself the whole work of: -make the templates change (forget about #221151, I'll be very conservative) -incorporate pending translations -have the translators update their translations (I'm inclose touch with all d-i translators) -prepare the next upload with these changes This is indeed a "NMU with maintainer agreement" request, aimed at improving the integration of shadow in Debian Installer. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable APT prefers unstable APT policy: (500, 'unstable'), (500, 'testing'), (400, 'experimental') Architecture: i386 (i686) Kernel: Linux 2.6.4 Locale: LANG=fr_FR.UTF-8, LC_CTYPE=fr_FR.UTF-8 (ignored: LC_ALL set to fr_FR.UTF-8)
