* 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).

[ Colin Watson ]
* Remove config.h.in and configure, now autogenerated by dh-autoreconf.
* Change the shell of all global static users other than root (which
  retains /bin/sh) and sync (as /bin/sync is rather harmless) to
  /usr/sbin/nologin (closes: #274229; LP: #216813, #248844).
* Policy version 3.9.5.

[ Russ Allbery ]
* Add support for debconf prompting to update-passwd (closes: #184979).

* Switch to git; adjust Vcs-* fields.
