Either the sulogin manpage has been changed since this bug was filed
(which I can find no reference for), or your description of the text is
incorrect.
It describes the -e option as a fallback for getpwnam() and does not
conflict with the Ubuntu behaviour (getpwnam would succeed)
** Changed in: sysvinit (Ubuntu)
Status: Unconfirmed => Rejected
