This bug was fixed in the package base-passwd - 3.5.21
---------------
base-passwd (3.5.21) unstable; urgency=low
* Set up the root user without a password by default, rather than giving
it an empty password. In this day and age the latter is not really a
defensible default (LP: #296841).
* Update description of dip group, based on a suggestion by Osamu Aoki
(closes: #512938).
base-passwd (3.5.20) unstable; urgency=medium
* Document that the staff group is typically root-equivalent (thanks, Guy
Hulbert).
