Bug #501849 requests the inclusion of a new preseed value
(passwd/allow-password-empty) in user-setup.  As documentation of
preseed values appears to belong in the installation-manual appendix,
I've attached a patch against SVN r56349 that would include
documentation in English.  My apologies that I'm not confident enough
with generation of other languages to include the documentation there as
well.
