Would it be possible to generate a random default password for the MySQL root

The password could be stored in a file in /root for example.


or better, what if we prompt for the root password via debconf, and then
if the answer is non-blank, set the password?  this wouldn't be very
hard to do.

The disadvantage would be another question.
As I prefer random passwords, I'd vote against it. :)
I'm not sure what kind of passwords others prefer, but I guess a question is reasonable.
