In base-passwd 3.5.30, I changed daemon's shell to /usr/sbin/nologin (a
change that I really should have made about ten years ago). This has
unfortunately had a bit of collateral damage: couriergrey's cron.daily
job will fail because it tries to use "su daemon" without overriding the
shell. Here's a fix:
* Pass "-s /bin/sh" to "su daemon" to cope with the change of nobody's
shell in base-passwd 3.5.30.
