When I upgraded from base-passwd 3.1 to this version 3.1.1,
the user account `dos' was removed. But only from /etc/passwd.
It was still in /etc/shadow. (The command `pwck' would
detect this, and ask if user `dos' should be deleted.)

It's on the todo-list; right now update-passwd doesn't do anything
with the shadow-file. I wanted to be sure all the other functionality
was working before adding new features.

Wichert.
