Title:
  Merge user-setup from Debian Unstable for questing

Status in user-setup package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Scheduled-For: ubuntu-25.06
  Ubuntu: 1.102ubuntu1
  Debian Unstable: 1.105

  A new release of user-setup is available for merging from Debian
  Unstable.

  If it turns out this needs a sync rather than a merge, please change
  the tag 'dcr-merge' to 'dcr-sync', and (optionally) update the title
  as desired.

  If this merge pulls in a new upstream version, also consider adding an
  entry to the questing Release Notes:
  https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/questing-quokka-release-notes/

  ### New Debian Changes ###

  user-setup (1.105) unstable; urgency=medium

    [ Pascal Hambourg ]
    * Replace --gecos with --comment in adduser invocation, as suggested by
      the documentation (deprecation notice).
    * Set the full name with chfn instead of adduser:
       - adduser 3.152 relaxes checks on what's getting passed via --comment
         (see #1101678).
       - To be safe, with an older adduser or with further versions that
         would refine the checks, pass the username through --comment as
         a first step, then use chfn to try and set the fullname.
       - This should ensure that d-i can create users (instead of silently
         failing, see #1101196, #1101196, and #1104550). If chfn fails for
         some reason, d-i continues, and the username stays in the comment
         field instead of the specified fullname.
    * Stop setting LANG=C:
       - C.UTF-8 is used in d-i, is available in the installed system, so
         using C instead doesn't seem needed.
       - Worse, it can be counterproductive and trigger an indefinite hang
         in some conditions (see #1104726).
    * Sanitize fullname, which should ensure chfn can be used to perform the
      username/fullname substitution mentioned above:
       - Replace colon, comma, equal sign, ampersand, and control characters
         with spaces.
       - Squeeze repeated spaces.
       - Remove leading and trailing spaces.

  ### Old Ubuntu Delta ###

  user-setup (1.102ubuntu1) plucky; urgency=medium

    * Merge 1.102 from Debian unstable. Remaining old changes:
      - Add preseedable passwd/auto-login question; if set to true, configure
        gdm, kdm, lxdm, sddm, and lightdm for automatic login.  Add
        passwd/auto-login-backup question which backs up the previous contents
        of the files as well.
      - Ask whether the user wants to encrypt their home directory.
      - Allow forcing the encrypted home option.
      - If a user requests an encrypted-home, we must have their login
        passphrase, in order to wrap their mount passphrase; it's
        fundamentally incompatible to preseed encrypted-home AND a crypted
        password; if this happens, send the user back to password selection.
      - Zero out swap devices at the end of install when encryption is
        enabled.
      - Provide a progress message for wiping swap space.
      - If user-setup/allow-password-empty is preseeded to true, allow empty
        passwords.
      - Add weak password detection (purely length-based for now, matching
        partman-crypto).
      - Don't restrict guest login from login screen if autologin was
        configured, just restrict autologin for guest specifically.
      - If OVERRIDE_ALREADY_ENCRYPTED_SWAP is set in the environment, assume
        that encrypted swap has already been set up rather than re-creating
        and re-zeroing swap.
      - reserved-usernames: Add maas to reserved-usernames
      - user-setup-apply: user-setup-udeb.templates: Update initial user groups
      - d/user-setup-udeb.templates: Default passwd/root-login to false
      - functions.sh: Make is_system_user always return false if
        OVERRIDE_SYSTEM_USER is set
      - functions.sh: Consider a password of '!' in shadow for root to be unset
      - user-setup-apply: Create the spu group on powerpc/ps3 and powerpc/cell
      - user-setup-apply: Fix paths for GDM configs which are now in /etc/gdm3
      - user-setup-apply: Fix sddm.conf paths when replacing PLACEHOLDER
      - user-setup-ask: Lower priority of the encrypt home question
      - user-setup-apply: Mount /proc before calling adduser --encrypt-home
      - debian/po: keep translations as part of the package
      - Add sgx group to reserved-usernames; udev.postinst (src:systemd) adds it
        as a system group (LP: #1990488).
      - remove 'lxd' from user-default-groups and add 'users' instead,
        it will let lxd default to unprivileged containers which is better
        see https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/easy-multi-user-lxd-setup for details
        (LP: #1949115)
