The patch was tested by Joey before posting it. I applied it without modification. Since then, I have run a few automated AND non automated installs with either the root password preseeded or not. Nothing broke up. The package will be tested by all people using D-I netboot or businesscard builds and pointing to unstable rather than testing. I suggest we leave maybe a few days with the package in unstable, allowing people using unstable to report bugs. The goal is having it in for the release, so the timeline mostly depends on the release timeline. On the other hand, the sooner the package goes in testing, the sooner it receives more testing, because most D-I installation testers use testing as target because thisis the default setting.
