The changes to passwd.postinst in bug #296841 caused a regression by using 'lt' instead of 'lt-nl' on line 52. On a new installation no previously configured version is provided which 'lt' considers to be less than the version checked for. This causes passwd.postinst to add ! to the empty root password before user-setup runs, which in turn breaks root_password() in user-setup by causing it to return true which it should not.
