base-passwd (3.5.21) unstable; urgency=low

  * 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).

base-passwd (3.5.20) unstable; urgency=medium

  * Document that the staff group is typically root-equivalent (thanks, Guy
    Hulbert).
