Sorry, I don't think that is good advice to give :) But I understand what you mean; users pre-seeding passwords from CSV files are already in an awkward situation. There could still be issues with unicode characters (for example £ or € currency symbols) if they didn't take care with character encoding, especially if the file originated on a Windows machine. Debian Edu needs to fix the escaping of raw passwords in stable anyway because of the risk of running arbitrary commands as root. The debconf-set-selections issue remains; whether or not it should be fixed in stable I cannot say.
