Subject: adduser: --disabled-passwd and --disabled-login non-functional

Package: adduser
Version: 3.70
Severity: serious
Justification: makes package unsuitable for release in maintainer's opinion

In the experimental versions of adduser, the options --disabled-login
and --disabled-passwd have been inadvertently renamed to
--disabled_login and --disabled_password. This is a bug.

They will be renamed back in 3.71.

Greetings
Marc

The "disabled password" option used to be --disabled-password, not
--disabled-passwd. passwd.config expects --disabled-password (and
adduser(8) still documents it), and as a result this change breaks new
installations. Please rename it back to --disabled-password.

Thanks,

Ouch. Done in svn. A new version will be uploaded in time for today's
dinstall (I'll wait for more bug reports to show up since the new
version expects many more bugs).
