Bug#2920: incorrect entry for nobody in recent "base" package

["Susan G. Kleinmann" <sgk@sgk.tiac.net>]

Package: base
Version: 1.1.0-7

(Note that this is _not_ the same error as is present in the nobody entry
for /etc/passwd in base-1.1.0-4.)

This package contains the following entry for nobody:

nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/tmp:/dev/null

With this entry, the find command in /etc/cron.daily fails.  That is,
     su nobody -c "cd / && updatedb"
gives the error message:
     su: cannot run /dev/null: Permission denied

If the nobody line in /etc/passwd is replaced with

nobody:*:65534:65534:nobody:/dev/null:

then updatedb works as expected.
