If my theory about ' being a problem is right (and I did get past this problem when I omitted it), a stop gap would be to tell people not to use that character in their password.
I suppose we could indeed mention this in the text.
It does seem odd that the \' isn't working to quote it.
See https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=716841#10 I now see that I thought of a potential solution in 2014 but apparently nobody implemented that (I'm nearly the only one ever working on dbconfig-common).
P.S. For some reason I don't seem to have gotten the email with Paul's response.
