login shell of prey user in ubuntu package better be /bin/false or /usr/sbin/nlogin

[solsticedhiver]

hi
in ubuntu package from prey site, a prey user and a prey group is created when the package is installed
but the login shell of the prey user is /bin/bash:

$ grep prey /etc/passwd
prey:x:999:999::/home/prey:/bin/bash

as a security measure, it could be better to use /bin/false or /usr/sbin/nologin
As I understand, prey daemon does not need a login shell (?)
