** Description changed:

  On an up to date intrepid desktop or server
  
  - create a user "test"
  - sudo passwd -e test
  - try to log in as test
  --> "you are required to change your password immediately (root enforced)" 
  "Authentication failure" 
  then back at the login prompt
  
  I would have expected to be asked for a new password where it seems that
  the account is locked.
+ 
+ Impact: users that should be able to change their passwords at login
+ time are instead locked out.
+ 
+ Regression potential: none of note
+ 
+ TEST CASE: expire a user account with 'passwd -e'; try to log in; see
+ the above-mentioned error.  install the updated package, try to log in
+ again, and get a prompt for changing the password.
