Currently inetutils-server provides /etc/defaults/etc/shells. If that 
file is required by base functionality now, then I've no problem 
removing it and modifying inetutils' postinstall/preremove scripts. But 
we'll need to synchronize the uploads of inetutils-server-$next and 
base-files-$next.

Speaking of base-files, version 4.1-2 has been in test now for over two 
years...works fine here and fixes a problem with $TEMP and other 
"standard" variable names: 4.1-1 set both $TEMP and $temp, but these are 
not distinguished by native processes, leading to confusion if a native 
process reset $TEMP (but not $temp).
