Package: passwd
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-3
Severity: wishlist
In such emergency cases as
linux init=/bin/sh
it is useful to have such tools as 'passwd' in /bin, in case /usr isn't
mounted. Having /usr on LVM, for example, requires a number of steps to
make it work. It would be useful if a forgotten root password, say, can
be reset using only tools in the root filing system.

Hello,
Resetting the root's password is not sufficient to add passwd in /bin/
Kind Regards,
