debhelper & /usr/bin/passwd

[Ossama Othman <othman@cs.wustl.edu>]

Hi guys,

I just updated my potato system.  The only two packages that were being
updated were debhelper and egcs-docs.  I got a warning from dpkg that
debhelper (it seemed) was trying to overwrite /usr/bin/passwd.  Due to all
of the trojan rumours flying around, I got a little scared.  Also, I
couldn't see why debhelper would want to overwrite /usr/bin/passwd.

Any ideas?  Is this something I should worry about?

Thanks,
-Ossama
