[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#330420: login: Breaks system-wide maildir spools

[Henrique de Moraes Holschuh]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.12-2
Severity: important

Recent changes to login appear to have killed login.defs support for
maildir.  The comments in login.defs do not reflect that. 

For a maildir tree at /var/mail/<user>/, we get MAIL=/ when the user logins.

pam.d/login has noenv specified for the mail pam module.
