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?

Thanks.
