Bug #501849 requests the inclusion of a new preseed value (passwd/allow-password-empty) in user-setup. As documentation of preseed values appears to belong in the installation-manual appendix, I've attached a patch against SVN r56349 that would include documentation in English. My apologies that I'm not confident enough with generation of other languages to include the documentation there as well. -- Emmet HIKORY
