Title:
  Preseeded install with user definition fails

Status in “ubiquity” package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  Several regular jenkins jobs that have been running some time began failing yesterday.  ubiquity and debian-installer based images are affected.  The message appearing is:
  The username you have entered (root) is reserved for use by the system.  Please select a different one.
  The username in use in these preseeds is jenkins.  I will attached one such preseed, a screenshot of the error in ubiquity, and a screenshot of a syslog from debian-installer.  I am trying to recreate the bug in ubiquity on an active system and run apport.
