[Bug 1157065] Re: preseed install fails with "The username you entered (root) is reserved.."

[Oliver Grawert]

i think you are missing a line like:

d-i user-setup/allow-password-weak boolean true
("ubuntu" isnt a very strong one) ....

the error message should indeed tell you instead of pointing to the root
user ...
