Title:
  installer created invaid username

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Using this 
  d-i passwd/user-fullname string Video Team User

  but not 
  # d-i passwd/username string juser

  I am prompted for a username, defaults to "video"

  I accept that default, and it tells me it is invalid.

  I'm guessing thing that constructed the username should check against
  the blacklist mentioned here:

  "According to the comments in the list of reserved user names,"
