Public bug reported:

* Impact

We aren't using gnome-initial-setup to create users in Ubuntu today,
since our desktop installer is handling the user creation, but that's
wanted feature for oem installation to replace oem-setup which doesn't
exist in the new installer

* Test Case

We added a new section for 'new user mode' to the existing testplan to
cover that feature

https://wiki.ubuntu.com/DesktopTeam/TestPlans/GnomeInitialSetup

* Regression potential

As described, neither Ubuntu nor any of the flavors are using gnome-
initial-setup in 'user creation' mode today, so the regression potential
is limited. Theoretically there could be users with custom setup
triggering that mode today but we also found integration issue with the
way the gnome-initial-user account is set up on Debian/Ubuntu which
makes the mode not work today, which we are also fixing as part of that
upload.

Things that could go wrong though:
- the user creation GUI could be triggered when it shouldn't (on an normal 
desktop installation where the user is create by the installer)
- the 'first login' mode could change by side effect of some of the other 
changes

We should focus on verifying those, especially that the 'existing user'
mode is unchanged.
