Package: login login currently ships /etc/login.defs. Various other packages read login.defs, without really depending on it.
As a stop-gap, passwd currently Depends: login. The assumption being that programs needing /etc/login.defs also depend on passwd, because they probably want useradd/userdel/something-from-passwd. My plan is to: - have login in unstable start Providing: login.defs - other packages can start Depending: login.defs - update util-linux to Depend: login.defs, making login.defs (Pseudo-)Essential. util-linux needs it, because su(1) needs /etc/login.defs - introduce new login.defs package in experimental - have login.defs take over the /etc/login.defs conffile from login.
