*SNIP*

Sebastien, on my particular system this still doesn't do the trick, however under further 
investigation I did find something out...

It appears that if I run $ROOTCMD dpkg-reconfigure passwd, it will use the dialog frontend, ask 
me a bunch of questions then exit, and passwd will now be added to the debconf cache db... (then 
allowing me to send commands using debconf-communicate). But, if I run it in noninteractive 
frontend, it doesn't do anything.

Is it possible that the passwd package using noninteractive frontend is broken? Can we use fai-
divert for this purpose?

Cheers,

Senaque
