"ignore-and-continue" and "ask-for-password" sound ok in the case where
a passwordless connect is successfull.
"random-password" makes too much trouble for the reasons Olaf and you already
pointed out (mail is insecure, displayed passwords will be overlooked..)
(to sean:)
But actually implementing it could become troublesome. Currently our last
lines are
db_stop # in case invoke failes
#DEBHELPER#
As long as the server start is inserted by debhelper, it has to happen
after the last debconf question or else dpkg may "hang" if the start fails
and debhelper is not correctly closed.
