Small intro to the system for numbering the patches here...

-The 00xx-... patches are forwarded to upstream's git repository

-The 0xx_... series of patches are patches isolated from the latest
 version of the shadow Debian package not using quilt in order to
 separate upstream from Debian-specific stuff.

 NO MORE PATCHES SHOULD BE ADDED IN THESE SERIES

-The 4xx series are patches which have been applied to Debian's shadow
 and have NOT been accepted and/or applied upstream. These patches MUST be kept
 even after resynced with upstream

-The 5xx series are patches which are applied to Debian's shadow
 and will never be proposed upstream because they're too specific
 This list SHOULD BE AS SHORT AS POSSIBLE

In short, while we are working towards synchronisation with upstream,
our goal is to make 0xx patches disappear by moving them either to 3xx
series (things already implemented upstream) or to 4xx series
(Debian-specific patches).
