loginutils package, etc.

Please do not make any packages that contain sources from more than
one upstream package. Please make a separate Debian package for each
upstream package. When in doubt, please split packages into smaller
ones rather than making big packages. It's a good idea sometimes for
a source package to generate several binary packages so that it is
easy to subset or replace portions.

Maybe so, but these should be split up.
