I think I understand the basic packaging mechanism. As I see it, I'm looking at the file mysql-dfsg-5.0-5.0.45/debian/mysql-server-5.0.postinst and the related <...>.template files. I see two things that need to happen:
1. a new string needs to be added to the template file with text to the effect of "re-enter password blah blah", plus whatever localization gets wrapped around that (I assume this would be a different bug to get localization added?) 2. the postinst file needs to be modified to be similar to the core OS install to ask for a password and verification, compare strings, etc I have no idea how to make (1) happen; are there are people whose jobs are to write these strings or do I come up with something on my own? Translation is definitely outside of my expertise :) For (2), I would like to basically mimic the code from the base OS installer, partly to keep it simple and partly for consistency between components. With this in mind, which package is initially responsible for setting the system root password? Where can I find a list of the core packages that get laid down in every debian installation?
