Package: debian-installer
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
Debian installer will allow you to complete an install without ever visiting
the configure users section and no warning. This will result in a system
installed with no way to log in except booting with init=/bin/sh
I would suggest that there be a warning, and perhaps have NO password for root
under this situation rather than root:*: in shadow -- the warning would be
particularly nice, as I had begun an install in a location that has slow access
and I can not stay at for an extended period of time and enabled the remote-ssh
method to continue. when I resumed, I thought I had already visited the users
section but had not. I found this out after I rebooted, which resulted in the
necessity of scheduling another trip to the location simply to set a root
password and allow logins to the system.

Hi,
thank you for submitting bug reports concering debian-installer, much
appreciated.
I read through all the bugs mentioned here (and I'm sure they were read by
several people at the time they were submitted) and am closing them now as/if
- they (finally) indicated success and/or
- I know from first hand experience that the functionality is working in
Wheezy and/or
- they only contained very little information and/or
- they contained user errors and/or
- they have been from a development phase where things were not stable and/or
- they are very old and/or
- they are wishlist but rather special + exotic and not have been acted on for
years. (See http://blog.liw.fi/posts/wishlist-bugs/ why it's often useful to
close wishlist bugs.)
If I've closed a bug incorrectly please do reply (it's easy to reopen and I'll
do if requested) or just file a new one - and that's often better, as the bug
log will be clearer and shorter and not contain cruft.
cheers,
Holger
