[Pkg-shadow-devel] Bug#385170: asks about untouched /etc/login.defs when upgrading

[Tormod Volden]

Package: login
Version: 1:4.0.18.1-8
Followup-For: Bug #385170

When I upgraded from testing to unstable today (upgrade login 1:4.0.18.1-7 1:4.0.18.1-8) I got the 
question about what to do with /etc/login.defs. I have never touched that file, so there should be no 
reason for asking. See attached diff.

(The same happened in Ubuntu when upgrading from Edgy to Feisty:
