Thanks for references!

But in public i want to say following.

While making new installation all i care is rebooting to working
operating system.

I.e *i don't care* about entering passwords on middle ground, without
knowing, WTF this installer may do with them, not having comfortable
environment for that _important_ action.

Thus i have silly, empty passwords after installation. Then, i get my
imagination and compose really super-druper passwords for root and users
(that i create myself by script with, IDs i want/have on filesystems, not
by installation process).

Having ssh defaults is just debian's asking -- here i'm, take me, wise
man!
