Package: jabber
Version: 1.4.3-3.4
Severity: normal

The default configuration stores passwords as plaintext. The alternative would 
be
to use SHA1 hashsums in combination with SSL connection. However, in this case,
the registration of new users omits the password field, which means that the
registration is not possible anymore. As I couldn't find any information about
the expected format of the SHA1 hashes, and the sources are very bizarre (no
mention of salts in the SHA1 part), it means that users can also not be created
manually.

As a direct consequence, I've had to revert to plain text passwords for the 
spool.
