Bug description:
  antarus at killbot:~$ getent passwd libuuid
  libuuid:x:100:101::/var/lib/libuuid:

  A missing shell specification means it takes the default shell
  (usually /bin/sh).


  DISTRIB_CODENAME=trusty
  DISTRIB_DESCRIPTION="Ubuntu Trusty Tahr (development branch)"
  DISTRIB_ID=Ubuntu
  DISTRIB_RELEASE=14.04

  antarus at killbot:/tmp$ apt-cache policy libuuid1
  libuuid1:
    Installed: 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20
    Candidate: 2.20.1-5.1ubuntu20

  It should have /usr/sbin/nologin as its shell.
