Title:
  Allow user to set preferred password

Status in “pam” package in Ubuntu:
  Invalid
Status in “pam” package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  When installing ubuntu, I could, if I choose, to use a password that
  is considered insecure, e.g., 123456, though I am warned, I am
  allowed. After installing, if I try to change my password to something
  like 123456 I am told the password is too simple, and I can't change
  it. It needs to be one or the other, personally I don't think I should
  be told I can't change my password to 123456, that isn't very free.
  Tell me I am an idiot, but don't tell me I can't.
