103. By Colin Watson on 2012-12-03

* 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.
  - If OVERRIDE_ALREADY_ENCRYPTED_SWAP is set in the environment, assume
    that encrypted swap has already been set up rather than re-creating
    and re-zeroing swap.

Fix syntax error in user-setup-apply if $ROOT is unset (LP: #1066256).

* user-setup-apply:
  - Revert the change from 1.42ubuntu2. We'll handle this in ubiquity
    instead; in d-i, it seems to be too difficult to get right without the
    aid of script libraries from cryptsetup.
  - If OVERRIDE_ALREADY_ENCRYPTED_SWAP is set in the environment, assume
    that encrypted swap has already been set up rather than re-creating
    and re-zeroing swap (LP: #979350).

apt-install ecryptfs-utils and cryptsetup in user-setup-apply, not
user-setup-ask (LP: #893014).

* Merge from Debian testing, 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.
  - user-setup-ask: if a user requests an encrypted-home, we must have
    their login passphrase, in order to wrap their mount passphrase; its
    fundamentally incompatible to preseed encrypted-home AND a crypted
    password; if this happens, send the user back to the password
    selection in the user-setup state machine
  - 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.
  - Update Ubuntu-specific translations from Launchpad.
  - Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was configured,
    just restrict autologin for guest specifically.
* Dropped changes:
  - Add the initial user to the dip group after all, not dialout; per
    Debian bug #568895, dip is for pppd and dialout is for raw tty access
    which users don't need.
  - Don't set up the admin group or add the user to it; the sudo package
    now always sets up the sudo group on install, so we can as well use
    this group as the admin group. This will be inconsistent with
    previous Ubuntu releases, but consistent with Debian and compatible
    with sudo.

* In the oem-config scenario, just sed out the oem user for the correct user
  as the rest of the lightdm config is put in place already from install.
* Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was configured,
  just restrict autologin for guest specifically.

94. By Evan on 2011-08-30

Write out a lightdm configuration if one does not exist when
selecting automatic login (LP: #837165).
