I only now noticed that this version of shadow entered testing. Assuming that #596283 will be fixed by a -2 release of shadow, I was wondering whether the Release Team would like a cron -115 as well, with this feature removed from /etc/cron.daily/standard. First, let me point out that keeping both around has zero negative effects in practice, as both scripts will attempt to backup /etc/passwd et al only if the backup copy differs from the original -- ie, nothing is overwritten, as script #2 attempting to perform the backup will just skip the files already backed up by script #1. Nevertheless, this redundancy is questionable at best. Should the RT therefore wish a cron-115, I'd prepare one with a solution analogous to #541412, where backup of dpkg files was handed over to dpkg.
