The security team was CC'ed to the mail I sent to reopen the bug.

While writing it I see that I CC'ed security@debian.org rather than
team @security.debian.org....I should have tried that one first.

However, I haven't completed the work to rebuild the package on a
woody system and all this went far in my head.

I may re-check on this system, if the security team feels that having
chpasswd default to MD5 rather then DES is worth an update in woody.

(sarge is safe for ages on that matter)
