Also, in #656509 (in which Cyril states that the effort of translating a new message outweighs the importance of the change). I've no idea if that justification for inaction still stands, but I thought this would make a nice little example for the use of the salsa-CI pipeline (and my branch2repo variant of that), so here's an MR: https://salsa.debian.org/installer-team/user-setup/-/merge_requests/7 and here's a screenshot of what the change looks like: https://openqa.debian.net/tests/185853#step/passwords/1 I'm not 100% happy with the wording (and the underlines around 'should' need to go) so I'm very likely to tweak it tomorrow. Suggestions for improvement welcome, although be aware that given the resistance to fixing this in the past, it's always possible such a change will also be deemed unjustified now. I think it's probably about time we fixed it, since even the civil servants in the UK have stopped recommending password changes by now, and they tend to make such changes at least a decade late. ;-) Cheers, Phil. -- Philip Hands -- https://hands.com/~phil
