Bug Description

Binary package hint: partman-crypto

If I'm reading the get_passphrase() function of blockdev-keygen correctly, it seems to explicitly disregard any preseeded values for partman-crypto/passphrase and partman-crypto/passphrase-again

We're trying to do fully automated preinstallation with a known passphrase (which gets changed during the allocation to a user stage) and this is making that impossible.

  * Allow preseeding the first passphrase prompt (LP: #546405). (Preseeding
    passphrases for multiple different physical volumes is a whole different
    kettle of fish ...)

I knew I'd pay for not being more explicit earlier, but we'd also like to be able to preseed away the warning about passphrase strength.
