It would probably be the easiest thing if the Install would just call adduser. The package was installed before so its defaults are already in place. That way, there is nothing to keep in sync. If adduser can do anything to make it easier for the Installer, please file a bug against adduser so that I can track that. I don't think it makes sense to make that preseedable, it's just the first user that gets affected, and I think that installations so big that they'd do preseeding here would probably create a special administration user from the Installer anyway.
