+Subject: [PATCH] useradd: Do not reset non-existent data in {last,fail}log
+
+useradd does not create the files if they don't exist, but if they exist
+it will reset user data even if the data did not exist before creating
+a hole and an explicitly zero'd data point resulting (especially for
+high UIDs) in a lot of zeros ending up in containers and tarballs.
