Package: login Version: 1:4.0.18.1-8 Followup-For: Bug #385170 When I upgraded from testing to unstable today (upgrade login 1:4.0.18.1-7 1:4.0.18.1-8) I got the question about what to do with /etc/login.defs. I have never touched that file, so there should be no reason for asking. See attached diff.
