A word of warning for people with binary feeds: rebuild shadow for all your machines before uploading, otherwise you'll be greeted with error messages about missing securetty packages during upgrade. Opkg itself can't handle the upgrade properly since it will install dependencies first, so it errors out with "/etc/securetty already provided by shadow", so use --force-overwrite.

I can't think of a way of doing this change without causing the above problems :(
