It should do, provided that you don't actually add the user to the live
filesystem, but *only* preseed passwd/username et al.

I'm not entirely clear how, without duplicating a bunch of code. Note
that the code in passwd.config is going to go away, being replaced by
user-setup-udeb, so calling that won't cut it in the long term, and
maybe not even for dapper. We may be able to create a user-setup.deb
that the simplified live CD can use.
