Is this Zope-related? If so, why are you creating an instance from
debconf? I thought our approach would be to provide the framework
but expect the admin to run mkzopeinstance to configure it.

Alternatively, just set the password to some random string and don't
display it, then document the need to use zpasswd.py before things
will work in README.Debian.

I am a big fan of not using debconf/postinst for any of this.
