* Merged with debian unstable. Remaning changes (LP: #477299):
  - Ubuntu specific:
    + debian/login.defs: use SHA512 by default for password crypt routine.
  - debian/patches/495_stdout-encrypted-password: chpasswd can report
    password hashes on stdout (Debian bug 505640).
  - Rework 495_stdout-encrypted-password to cope with chpasswd using PAM.
