user-setup (1.42ubuntu1) precise; urgency=low

  * Resynchronise with Debian.  Remaining changes:
    - Add the initial user to the adm, lpadmin, and sambashare groups too.
      Do not add them to the audio, video, floppy, netdev, powerdev,
      scanner, or bluetooth groups.
    - 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, kdm, lxdm, and lightdm 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.
    - Allow forcing the encrypted home option.
    - If a user requests an encrypted-home, we must have their login
      passphrase, in order to wrap their mount passphrase; it's
      fundamentally incompatible to preseed encrypted-home AND a crypted
      password; if this happens, send the user back to password selection.
    - Zero out swap devices at the end of install when encryption is
      enabled.
    - Provide a progress message for wiping swap space.
    - 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.
    - Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was
      configured, just restrict autologin for guest specifically.
  * Update Ubuntu-specific translations from Launchpad.
