In reference to a message from Roland Bauerschmidt, dated Aug 28: > I am in the process of rewriting adduser from scratch in Python... There Please don't. adduser is in base and part of the boot-floppies bootstrap process. Creating more dependencies is a Bad Thing(tm). If anything, rewrite it in C and help us drop perl from the base tarball. randolph -- Debian Developer <tausq@debian.org> http://www.TauSq.org/
