dh-sysuser 1.3 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

dh-sysuser (1.3) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Rethink what this package actually does. Instead of removing user, it
    is just locked. It drastically simplify maintainer script code and
    avoids tricky situation with `deluser --remove-home'.
    (Closes: #840469)
    + Thanks: Simon McVittie <email address hidden>
  * New binary package: sysuser-helper. This way maintainer script
    contains as little logic, as possible.
  * New option: home without arguments. It creates home directory
    for system user somewhere under /var/lib.
