Dear Maintainer,

When asked to enable user names containing dots, I encountered
https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=604242#20.
When do you think chown could stop accepting the dot separator?
While it could break old scripts (only : is documented for quite
some time now), it would also enhance Debian's POSIX conformance.
