I've attached a *tentative* patch, which should make encrypted-passwords the
default option, by adding a new debconf parameter
("grub-installer/hash-password") which controls whether the manually-entered
password is passed through grub's md5crypt function before entry in the
menu.lst.
If appropriate, the patch will need testing as part of the system-installation
process (which I've not been able to do), and internationalized versions of the
user-visible text for the hash-password parameter.
