Title:
  Ubiquity not using password provided by UI

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Incomplete

Bug description:
  System: Skywave Linux Flashback Release: 4.3.0 - this is a Focal Remix
  live-cd based on Ubuntu 20.04.4 (https://skywavelinux.com/)

  Ubiquity Version: 20.04.15.19

  I want to install this live distro on VM (standalone HVM on Qubes OS -
  but I think this not make any difference). I installed ubiquity,
  ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-casper, ubiquity-frontend-gtk,ubiquity-
  frontend-gtk-panel and ubiquity-slideshow-ubuntu via apt after 'sudo
  apt-get update'. I also mounted booted iso as cdrom (using: 'sudo
  mount /dev/loop0 /media/cdrom' and 'sudo ls -s /media/cdrom /cdrom')

  Then poceded installation as normal. When it comes to "Who are you?" page all fields without password was filed by some garbage/error "10 passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup doesn't exist".
  I changed it to values desired by me and chose some simple password.

  Instalaltion crashed on user-setup. After some dbugging I found out
  that $PASSWD variable that is used by setpassword() in user-setup-
  apply script file is set to "10 passwd/user-fulname-casper-backup
  doesn't exist" despite I was trying to set a new password via UI.

  I also add question about that behavior to find some workaround (https://answers.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/ubiquity/+question/701995).
