Uploaded to master
The long-awaited replacements to miscutils are in master's Incoming
directory. As these are all significantly changed base packages, I
encourage all developers to upgrade to them asap, and tell me of any
problems. Please don't wait until they are moved into the unstable
directory, as there appears to be an enormous backlog.
With these packages, miscutils and chfn are obsolete. Archive
maintainer, please erase them.
The new package names are bdflush, debian-utils, util-linux, getty,
login, and passwd. The last 3 are derived from the same source
package, loginutils.
