Bug#237610: installer creates only DES encrypted passwords



The installer asks the password for root and optionally the password for the
normal user account. These passwords are saved in /etc/shadow.

However, they are NOT encrypted with MD5 (i.e. strings beginning with $1$ in
/etc/shadow), but with DES. When you change passwords via "passwd", they are
encrypted using MD5 correctly.
