** Description changed:

- Using the latest Impish daily ISO (timestamp) 2021-06-24 I faced the
- situation that I didn't got a temporary installation password not the
- key fingerprints at the end of the installer boot-up process.
+ [impact]
+ cloud-init no longer puts the password of a user with a RANDOM password 
anywhere subiquity can find it, so while the password chosen ends up printed to 
the console, subiquity cannot display it from within the UI as it used to.
+ 
+ [regression potential]
+ If something goes wrong here, it's possible that subiquity will no longer be 
able to display the password for the installer user at all, which will make 
continuing the install via SSH impossible (this is very important for 
installing on z/vm)
+ 
+ [test case]
+ Make an ISO with this change and boot it and check that the installer 
password is available in the UI. Make a s390x ISO, boot it in z/vm and check 
that the installer password is displayed on the console.
+ 
+ [original description]

situation that I didn't got a temporary installation password not the key 
fingerprints at the end of the installer boot-up process.
  
  Hence I am not able to perform an installation from remote via ssh.
  However, subiqity is started at the console (e.g. Integrated ASCII console) 
and an installation can be successfully completed there, but a console 
installation is not in all cases possible, for example with z/VM guests.
  
  As one can read between the lines I tried this on s390x (Integrated
  ASCII console and z/VM), but 'paride' tried the same on amd64 and ran
  into the same symptoms, so it does not seem to be architecture specific.
  
  This must have happened recently, since I already was able to do ssh-based 
Impish installations on s390x in the past (for example with the daily ISO from 
06-14-2021).
  ___
  
  This is not the case for the 20.04 dailies - I can do remote ssh installation 
with the 20.04 live daily ISOs.
  ___
  
  With Impish on s390x the kernel parameter 'quiet' is still set by
  default.
