Right, but as you point out, this upload won't fix this.

Ubuntu against libscrypt to do it correct and in the manner you'd expect
an Ubuntu system to behave.

That's true, but I'd expect users doing anything *new* to be doing it on
16.04 or on 16.10, where I presume this bug is already fixed? Changing
this in 14.04 will change behaviour (as is intended), but this could
equally break users relying on particular previous behaviour.

My opinion would be different for 16.04. For 14.04, I'm on the fence,
and I'd like a second opinion from another ~ubuntu-sru.
