Package: preseed
Severity: normal
I did an install of etch with a preseeded password and when I checked
/var/cache/debconf/passwords.dat on the installed system, the passwords
were there. I think this happens because preseed currently copies all
debconf values to the preseed file that is fed into the installed
system. Before when we had base-config this was ok for passwords; when
passwd.config ran in base-config it used and then cleared the preseeded
passwords. Now user-setup runs in d-i, clears the passwords in d-i, but
they remain in the preseed file and reach the second stage.
One way to fix this would be to make preseed take care to not copy over
values owned by "d-i". And to make sure that all the preseed docs are
updated to make examples of preseeding passwords have the values owned
by d-i.

Changes:
preseed (1.12) unstable; urgency=low
.
* My paranoia has gotten the best of me and I've decided it's not worth the
possible security risks to put debconf-seed in /var/log, since that
installs it on the target system.
* Omit passing d-i owned preseed items to debconf-set-selections on target
system. Closes: #347669
