I did, thanks for adding me... easier that way than patches by email.

Hmm, so that is a bit of my fault then.

I wasn't aware that 'upstream' is the debian git repository. When you
say 'someone' - do you mean someone from the debian shadow team?

There might be another way to do it with different arguments passed to
things, but your way seems like it would also work fine and the
difference between figuring out another 'cleaner' way to do it, and just
doing it this way is probably not going to result in any difference in
the actual git history, or data... so it seems like either way would
work.
