 lacme (0.7-2) UNRELEASED; urgency=medium
 
+  * The internal webserver now runs as a dedicated system user _lacme-www
+    (and group nogroup) instead of www-data:www-data.  This is configurable
+    in the [webserver] section of the lacme(8) configuration file.
+  * The internal ACME client now runs as a dedicated system user _lacme-client
+    (and group nogroup) instead of nobody:nogroup.  This is configurable in
+    the [client] section of the lacme(8) configuration file.
+  * The _lacme-www and _lacme-client system users are created automatically by
+    lacme.postinst (hence a new Depends: adduser), and deleted on purge.  (So
+    make sure not to chown any file to these internal users.)
   * d/control: New lacme-accountd Suggests: openssl, gpg (for account key
     generation and decryption).
   * Add d/upstream/signing-key.asc, the OpenPGP used to signed upstream tags.
