hurd, shadow, coreutils packages uploaded



Hello,

I have uploaded the hurd, passwd/login, and coreutils packages, which
should be available with the next mirror update.  Some notable changes
are:

- the login package is now built, with the usual debian files, except
  the /bin/login binary, still provided by the hurd package.
- /etc/securetty is switched back to the login package.
- the Hurd console is not started last any more. This will permit to
  start xdm automatically.
- su is now provided by the login package.  This should fix the "su -"
  discrepancies.
- hurd's runsystem priority is decreased to 5, below sysvinit's. 

  * This means switching to sysvinit's boot scripts*

  * This also means that when you upgrade, you will have to explictly
  * use hurd-reboot to reboot the first time after the upgrade,
  * otherwise sysvinit's reboot will be used and won't work. *

Thanks to everybody involved in all these changes, that is quite a move!

Samuel
