Package: passwd
Version: 20000902-6.1
Severity: wishlist

adduser and deluser allow the admin of a machine to customize the
operation of these scripts by calling /usr/local/sbin/$0.local if it
exists.  I use this to keep auth information in sync between two
machines.  I need this feature for passwd as well.  I don't want to
use NIS. :)
