Public bug reported:

Binary package hint: ubiquity

Currently, oem-config does not complain if the user includes a non-ascii
character in their password.  This is generally not a problem because
there usually is not an easy way for the user to enter a non-ascii
character during oem-config.  However, it is still possible for the user
to enter a non-ascii character and some oem projects actually require
that scim be enabled in oem-config (so, for example, the user's real
name can be entered in Japanese).

Attached is a patch to ubiquity that has oem-config check the password
for non-ascii characters.  If any such characters are detected, oem-
config will complain and the user is forced to enter a new password.
