I believe it is a nice option to be supported, even more that the
Debian Embedded effort is starting to be integrated on the
distribution.
With that in mind, I also believe it is not worth to get it included
in Lenny and then we should postpone it for after release.
So to summarise:
- let it for Lenny+1;
- fix the description of the templace;
- add support for root passwordless;
Do people agree with my POV?
