[Robert Euhus <1290785@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

After some more search I found that the "original" gzipped tar archive that is referenced in your new version accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc differs a lot from the xz-compressed "original" tar used by the old trusty version:
https://launchpad.net/ubuntu/+archive/primary/+files/accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz

This is exactly the difference seen in the diff mentioned above.

In the attached accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.1.dsc I have just replaced all references to the dubios accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.gz by the corresponding lines for accountsservice_0.6.35.orig.tar.xz as found in https://launchpadlibrarian.net/162749972/accountsservice_0.6.35-0ubuntu7.dsc
(and removed the pgp signature).

With this change the packag compiles cleanly and works as expected.

@Robert: please use the working original tar.xz from the old package and
repost the patch. Thanks.

Title:
  Users with UID > 60000 are invisible in login and Settings->User
  unless /etc/login.defs updated

Status in “accountsservice” package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released
Status in “accountsservice” source package in Trusty:
  Triaged

Bug description:
  [Impact]
  Users of Ubuntu 14.04 LTS with UID > 60000 will not show in the greeter or system settings without editing UID_MAX in /etc/login.defs. This was not required in 12.04 LTS. In 12.04 LTS users were only hidden if they had UID < UID_MIN. In 13.10 this was changed to UID < UID_MIN or UID > UID_MAX.

  [Test Case]
  1. Create a user with a UID > UID_MAX:
  $ adduser --uid 60001 big-uid
  2. Restart system
  Expected result:
  "big-uid" is shown in the greeter. Once logged in "big-uid" is shown in system settings.
  Observed result:
  "big-uid" is not shown in the greeter (14.04 LTS, 14.10)
  "big-uid" is not shown in system settings (13.10, 14.04LTS, 14.10)

  [Regression Potential]
  This could cause users that were previously hidden to be shown. This seems unlikely to be a problem as all system created user accounts are less than UID_MIN and there doesn't seem be a convention to use accounts > UID_MAX for this case.
