* 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.
