Title:
  oem-config deletes first user

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Configured system under oem-config. Executed oem-config-prepare from
  graphical interface. On first boot, system asks for user information
  and appears to create user, but user cannot log in. On reboot into
  recovery mode, group of username is available, but user of username is
  not available and username's home directory is gone.  I cannot tell
  for certain if the user was never created or was created but
  immediately deleted as part of oem-config clean up.

  I think this is a regression because the changes made to oem-config
  intending to delete the package on firstboot (see bug 145281) appear
  to have caused the problem. Thus, the fix for Bug 145281 appears to
  have been too draconian and caused unintended consequences.

  This bug has been replicated in our factory on both Ubuntu-gnome and
  Kubuntu.
