It has exactly the same end result. And it's a lot more structured. And most users *will* want to create a user account, so it is perfectly natural to only offer the option at lower debconf priorities. -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
