I am thinking in such case the user should preseed via fai or such. Also sorry I forgot to add a check for empty "password again" > Do you have points againts setting random password in this case? no. This is a short term fix. Also the issue I encountered was not with automated install but merely the second db_input not triggering a dialog on second call with default settings for debconf. So we probably want both fix (ie check that the password again was not already asked on reinstall and a random password on unattended first installs). My guess is that it behaved like a reinstall in my case due to the command not found issue in config then attempt to rescue install.
