Well, no.

Original poster wanted {add|remove}-shell to be
separated from passwd. I agree with him by the way.

I think the fix just adds some value to
{add|remove}-shell. ;)
If we are going to give it away, let's give it in
good condition. :)

No. If/when 269573 will be fixed, it _may_ become
necessary to change {add|remove}-shell this way.

Also, 269573 is now reassigned to bash, let its
maintainers to do their job. ;)
