[Bug 1157065] Re: preseed install fails with "The username you entered (root) is reserved.."

[Dmitrijs Ledkovs]

Although I cannot confirm that it is or isn't the case, jenkins is one
of the user names "reserved" to be used by the jenkins package (it
creates a system user call jekins in it's post-install). Thus preseeding
user-name jenkins is dangerous, if jenkins package is later installed or
is going to be installed. Preseeding "butler" or "jenkinspreseeduser"
would be better.
