I tried different variations without triggering in the hang (like
foo#bar and foo*bar), until I tried '*#secret'.  The *# combination at
the start causes the hang.

The reason is that /usr/share/debian-edu-config/d-i/pre-pkgsel passes
on the password but cut it short before #, and thus only * is passed
on as the password.  This in turn get shell expanded when the password
is used without quotes.  I've uploaded code to add quotes to
squeeze-test, but the problem with # is unsolved.  I hope this will
avoid the hang.  It will still set the wrong password. :(
