In name of shadow maintainers, thanks to your involvment tracking down
this issue. Thanks as well to Roger and all people from #debian-bugs
who helped trying to reproduce Martin's problem.

There may have been some overreacting because indeed noone really
likes to receive RC bugs for a key package very few days before a
release. Martin, please accept our apologies ifsome words have been
too rude.

I still think the severity was somewhat overflated but this is of
course a matter of interpretation as "su" is obviously a key software
especially for people with only remote access to their machines (and
remote root login disabled, of course).
