That may be an interesting feature to add, yes.
Of course, this may only happen post-sarge. Shadow will not be changed
now.
BTW, I'm recruiting motivated people for the shadow package
maintenance as it is now proven that the package is only maintained by
me...:)
There is no work to do currently as I want to delay everything but RC
bugs and l10n issues post-sarge (this may include features absolutely
necessary do D-I, if requested by the D-I team). So, I'm just
beginning to grab up motivated people and build the team.
I'll officially announce this when coming back from holidays, around
mid-March.
