That's one of my main concerns for future d-i releases (be it an RC or the final release for 13.0). > Otherwise, I guess everyone agrees that user-setup cannot be left as > is.

I have no opinion on what adduser should do (enforce limits or not, which ones, etc.) but I would really hate it it we were basically limited to offering ASCII usernames from d-i. Any way to get back to something similar to what was possible in the previous release cycles would be great. I'd be fine if some options or environment variables (ADDUSER_VIA_DEBIAN_INSTALLER=1 or whatever) were needed to get rid of those checks. And I'm sorry for not investigating the current state of affairs before sending this mails, which might repeat preferred options I might have mentioned before, but my time and focus are very limited at the moment; yet I'd like to ensure this topic gets addressed before the next RC, or a plan is drafted and implemented before 13.0.
