Good. I've committed the patch now with a few minor modifications.

Yes. Both preseeding of an encrypted password and of plaintext passwords are 
possible and thus both should be tested. For plaintext passwords it could 
even be tested that the script behaves correctly if they are not the same.

Testing this would still be welcome, even if the change has already been 
committed.
