Subject says it all.

If we don't do anything and don't do anything *quickly* we will be
overloaded with identical bug reports.

In first reaction, I'm really angry at upstream for them creating a
panic on wrong settings but it seems that our only solution is to
forcibly change the wrong settings of our users on upgrades.

So, who feels like doing this?

Do we do it silently without prompting? This is, strictly speaking,
non policy compliant....but who wants a package that will panic after
an upgrade?

If we don't, we need to create a debconf template, probably show it at
critical priority, asking for permission to replace "passdb backend =
tdbsam guest" by "passdb backend = tdbsam". With either "True" or
"False" as default.

"True" as default would mean we would, in some cases, change a user
setting silentily....

"False" as default would mean that we would leave some users with the
wrong settings

Steve, you're the Wise Man here....please give your advice. Peter,
Noèl, Eloy, others, feel free to do so as well.

I personnally vote for *forcibly* change the setting.

We MUST fix this soon, or we won't survive...:)
