Synopsis: mergemaster deletes users when upgrading 5.4 -> 6.0

State-Changed-Why: 

I'm sorry to say, this has to be user error at some point
in the program. mergemaster by itself does not make any
changes to any files (including master.passwd and groups),
and as far as I know, the upgrade procedure does not install
anything in /etc. 

If you can reproduce this issue with details on what happened,
I'll be happy to look at it again, but I don't think that
mergemaster is at fault here.

Good luck,

Doug
