Public bug reported: Binary package hint: debian-installer
I love installing Ubuntu server edition, but installing it asks a password for the user it will create. Even if I'm always using public key authentification. I didn't find blueprints enabled for this packages, so I'll just describe what I would like from you right here. The ideea is to connect/integrate somehow launchpad user details with the installation process. The first step and maybe the most beautiful feature would be to specify an email address or a public key ID to be fetched from launchpad's keyring. This key, after to be placed in new user's home .ssh/authorized_keys file. The feature would make the installation process and further deployment of the system much easier and will save time. The implementation could be done using a python script which can fetch the public key of the user' ID/email from launchpad. Launchpad team already released their launchpad api library for python, and it's pretty powerful. I was able to build a Postfix virtual for our loco members (http://bazaar.launchpad.net/~sushkov/ubuntu-ro/loco- scripts/files/head%3A/python/lp-to-virtual/ ) I know it's should be in wishlist, maybe I should try posting it to ubuntu ideas?
