Created: 86_disable_existing_group_for_new_username.dpatch - disables the
ability to create a new user whose name is owned by a perviously defined
group, which, if allowed to happen, would overwrite the old group. If this
happened to 'admin', for example, would render any system adminstration by
sudoers impossible (LP: #236305).

Make it possible to create a group by using the tool by not
ignoring the group name that was chosen. (LP: #205144)
This is debian/patches/85_users_fix_add_group.dpatch.

* debian/control.in,
  debian/gnome-system-tools.manpages,
  debian/menu,
  debian/patches/00list,
  debian/patches/11_shares_admin_not_listed_under_gnome.dpatch,
  debian rules:
  - install shares-admin again since it has been requested by several users
    and some derivative distributions, it'll also make easier to edit
    previous shares for users upgrading and having some configured,
    don't install the nautilus integration and not list
    the menu item under GNOME though (lp: #208480)
* debian/patches/90_from_svn_correctly_configure_interface.dpatch:
  - change from svn, correctly configure the network interfaces,
    thanks to the different people who worked on the issue (lp: #185854)

* debian/control, debian/control.in

   isn't installed as of version 2.22.0-0ubuntu4. (LP: #209094)

debian/control, debian/control.in: remove gksu from Recommends, add
policykit-gnome; needed to press the Unlock button in network-admin,
LP: #206198

71. By James Westby on 2008-03-31

If a user already exists then set the home directory text box
to display their home directory, rather than the default for their
profile. This avoids changing the homedir inadvertantly when
a user's homedir isn't the default for their profile, in
particular the root user on Ubuntu. (LP: #198172)

  - lists the sambashare group as known so it can be used when adding users
* debian/profiles:
  - add sambashare to the admin groups
  - don't list the lpadmin group in the desktop profile (lp: #152107)
