* Simplify dpkg (>= 1.16.4) | sgml-base (<< 1.26+nmu2) build-dependency
  (see changelog for 3.5.26) to just dpkg (>= 1.16.4), since that was some
  time ago and wheezy has a sufficient version now, and the more elaborate
  form causes a complaint from debcheck.
* Allocate uid/gid 64045 for ceph object storage, by request of Gaudenz
  Steinlin.
* Allocate uid/gid 64050 for the Evergreen ILS, by request of Robin H.
  Johnson.

[ Juan Picca ]
* Make documentation build reproducible (closes: #792520).

* Debconf translations:
  - Dutch (thanks, Frans Spiesschaert; closes: #765361).
  - Danish (thanks, Joe Hansen; closes: #765853).
* Copy /etc/passwd and /etc/group from the master files in the preinst on
  initial install, to be more tolerant of bootstrapping tools that
  configure the Essential set in slightly different orders (based on a
  patch from Michael Tautschnig; see #766459 and #767999).

* Set up the root user without a password by default, rather than giving
  it an empty password. In this day and age the latter is not really a
  defensible default (LP: #296841).
* Update description of dip group, based on a suggestion by Osamu Aoki
  (closes: #512938).

* Remove preinst, for several reasons:
  - the 'dpkg --assert-support-predepends' check isn't guaranteed to be
    effective anyway (it tests the current version of dpkg on the system,
    not the one that's performing the upgrade);
  - dpkg has supported Pre-Depends since 1996;
  - it unnecessarily required dpkg to have been configured when running
    base-passwd.preinst (#316084).
* users-and-groups improvements from David Mandelberg (closes: #290237):
  - Document messagebus, postfix, hal, gdm, saned, klog, and syslog users
    and groups.
  - Document sshd, fetchmail, and cupsys users.
  - Document lpadmin, sasl, scanner, and ssh groups.
  - Correct "writeable" to "writable" throughout.

Add and document static group plugdev, gid 46, for use by pmount and

* Improve documentation of 'operator' (Peter Benie).
* In fact, remove the 'operator' user (not group) entirely from new
  installations. It will not be automatically removed from existing
  installations. Its uses are historical and not well-supported by Debian
  anyway, and a local administrator can easily set up something
  appropriate without it having to be in everyone's /etc/passwd file
  (closes: #198943).
