I can try to at least fix 235386.

What is the clean way to do lowercase(firstname) according to you. I
think this is the simplest thing to do.

233894 may induce some discussion (is it OK to automatically add the
first user to system groups like cdrom, audio and so on). This is not
critical thus we can delay it.

223664 probably needs asking the question about MD5 passwords before
setting up the root account. Maybe fixable this way

222716 is a template rewrite. I prefer first having all translations
complete and after this try the templates rewrites. #221151 proposed
some rewrites Karl didn't completely agree with.... Anyway, if
templates are rewritten, translators should be warned before so that
we don't have a released version with lots of fuzzy translations.

I wish shadow to be on alioth, indeed..:-)
