Package: base
Severity: critical

In earlier debian versions (even in early sarge) the shells of unused
system users such: game, man, lp ... etc used to have a shell /bin/false.

This means under no circumstances, can a user log in as a particular
user.

This has been changed recently to a shell: /bin/sh allowing login with
game, man ...
I know the logins can be denied in /etc/shadow but I do not see the
point in this change.
