Branches for Saucy

Author: Colin Watson
Revision Date: 2013-05-17 15:18:56 UTC

* Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
  - Add the initial user to the adm, lpadmin, and sambashare groups too.
    Do not add them to the audio, video, floppy, netdev, powerdev,
    scanner, or bluetooth groups.
  - Default passwd/root-login to false.
  - Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell.
  - Make is_system_user always return false if OVERRIDE_SYSTEM_USER is
    set.
  - Add preseedable passwd/auto-login question; if set to true, configure
    gdm, kdm, lxdm, and lightdm for automatic login. Add
    passwd/auto-login-backup question which backs up the previous contents
    of the files as well.
  - Ask whether the user wants to encrypt their home directory.
  - Allow forcing the encrypted home option.
  - If a user requests an encrypted-home, we must have their login
    passphrase, in order to wrap their mount passphrase; it's
    fundamentally incompatible to preseed encrypted-home AND a crypted
    password; if this happens, send the user back to password selection.
  - Zero out swap devices at the end of install when encryption is
    enabled.
  - Provide a progress message for wiping swap space.
  - If user-setup/allow-password-empty is preseeded to true, allow empty
    passwords.
  - Disable installation of pre-pkgsel.d/10kdesudo; it does nothing for
    Ubuntu, and causes a confusing message that worries some people.
  - Add weak password detection (purely length-based for now, matching
    partman-crypto).
  - Consider a password of '!' in shadow for root to be unset.
  - Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was
    configured, just restrict autologin for guest specifically.
  - If OVERRIDE_ALREADY_ENCRYPTED_SWAP is set in the environment, assume
    that encrypted swap has already been set up rather than re-creating
    and re-zeroing swap.
