Thanks for investigating this completely, Denis. As usual, your
contribution has a high value.

I added manpages-it and manpages-ko to Replaces for login. I removed
the useless entry for manpages-de (no real reason to keep a Replaces
if unneeded) and sorted the Replaces line for passwd with no change,
for readability.

The package is currently building and will be uploaded ASAP with
urgency set to high.

I'll also set the pkg-shadow-devel@lists.alioth.debian.org mailing
list as Maintainer and myself (and Sam Hartman) as uploader(s).

This is the final occasion for me to thank Karl Ramm in his work
maintaining this package.

Further bug reports for shadow will go to
