Summary:
We were using password checking in Calamares, especially as supported by libpwquality, but have received overwhelming community feedback against this. Therefore, we remove any checking by libpwquality, including defaults that aren't explicit, like the dictionary check. Sadly, it seems that setting enforcing=0 to simply print a warning does not work. IIt's possible that this is a bug, but not worth chasing at this point. The only thing unsupported is a blank password, but that's something that's [not clear](https://github.com/calamares/calamares/issues/790#issuecomment-330455711) is supported.
The good news is that the [string](743c19d8dd/src/modules/users/page_usersetup.ui (L440)) suggesting a good password is still there. If there's anywhere to be additional improments, it's there.
Test Plan: Run Calamares and enter a variety of lame passwords (e.g. space, the number one, the letter a, the word cat, etc.) twice. If the "next" button is not greyed out, it succeeds.

This package exists to house Ubuntu's settings for the Calamares installer.
If you want to add a new package for your flavor, here's how to do it:
- Create a new top-level directory (like Lubuntu's, you could just copy theirs and customize).
- Edit files and rename the branding directory for your flavor. All of the configuration files are pretty self-explanatory, but they're documented well upstream, so it shouldn't be hard to put your own spin on things.
- Create a new binary package, and make sure to Conflicts against all other binary packages in this source package. This needs to be done because all subdirectories are installed in the same location, so this makes sure that nobody tries to install any two binary packages at the same time.
That's about it. If you have any questions, feel free to email Simon Quigley at tsimonq2@ubuntu.com or consult the upstream documentation.
