In base-passwd 3.5.30, I changed www-data'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: the cache pruning in
lurker's postinst and prerm will fail because it tries to use "su
www-data" without overriding the shell. Here's a fix:
* Pass "-s /bin/sh" to "su www-data" to cope with the change of www-data's
shell in base-passwd 3.5.30.
