[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#154996: Patch for #154996

[Christian Perrier]

Tomasz, 

Here's an updated patch for Debian bug #154996 "useradd manpage could
use some clarification" (http://bugs.debian.org/154996).

The patch I originally sent was for the groff man page. I've adapted
it to the XML man page now.

This patch also includes a replaceable string fix for BASE8DIR, if I'm
correct.

If applying (for 4.0.14 now), as usual, please notify us.
