user-setup 1.27ubuntu1 source package in Ubuntu

Changelog

user-setup (1.27ubuntu1) karmic; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian. Remaining changes:
    - Add the initial user to the adm, dip, lpadmin, and sambashare groups
      too, and to the admin group if no root password is set. Do not add
      them to the audio, video, floppy, dip, netdev, powerdev, or scanner
      groups.
    - Allow the admin group to gain root privileges using sudo.
    - 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 and kdm 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.
    - 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.
    - Allow underscores in usernames, matching change in adduser
      3.110ubuntu3.
