Comment 2 for bug 241372

The current auto-login support is there so that the temporary 'oem' user gets automatically logged in, and so that the autologin configuration is removed once the oem user is no longer needed. It looks like this patch breaks that support.

What happened to the KDE support?

It's not very important for this to be asked in d-i. As such, it would probably be better to make the debconf template non-translatable (remove the _ before Description:). The reason this matters is that changes in translatable templates result in very large diffs against Debian which are hard to maintain later, so I try to avoid them wherever possible. To placate lintian, it would probably be best to follow the style of things like passwd/user-uid (comment above explaining purpose, and "Description: for internal use only").

It looks not too bad aside from that; I'll open a user-setup task for the work on that side.
