Bug description:
  Binary package hint: ubiquity

  It's never occurred to me until reading the warning in Kubuntu's
  installer but the installer's user info section warns that passwords
  have to be between 1 and 63 characters long.

  I understand the need to make things easy for end users, however,
  allowing single character passwords is, IMHO a bit TOO lax and is a
  security risk.  I was able to, using the Kubuntu installer, create a
  single letter password using the letter 'a'.

  If that's going to be the policy, why do we even bother with passwords
  at all?
