Package: boot-floppies
Version: current
Severity: normal

When selecting the new user account name, the base-config script defers
the running of adduser to later in the installation process.  This causes
somewhat of a UI disconnect when it just dumps one into the adduser
terminal prompts after selecting to install the system from preselected
sets of packages.
