| Thanks a lot for taking time to detail all this. This is very helpful
| to make a decision. I like such interesting collaboration.
| 
| The balance is currently more and more in favor of /usr/sbin for
| Debian...which is nice because this is what we use right now..:-)
| 
| Reformulation: Jari, you need to bring strong arguments if you want us
| to change this, now..:-). This is not a "go away" answer but I think
| that maintaining your request for moving nologin to /bin will need you
| to give work to our Technical Committee..:-)

Please go ahead, I have no objections. Glad to see this issue resolved.
