This upload seems to have a number of problems:

- I can't actually find anything in the interdiff between 4 and 5 indicating
  that this passwd_check patch is present
- owing to the switch from CVS to SVN, the interdiff between 4 and 5 is also
  92,000 lines long consisting mostly of changes to RCS ids, so it's
  possible the change is there and I overlooked it :/
- this version also re-adds the man/fr/po4a/fr directory that was removed in
  3, further bloating the diff

Could you confirm that the security patch is actually applied (and point me
to it), and if not, please reupload with it properly applied and maybe with
some of these other changes cleaned up?

Thanks,
