Title:
  Installation network-console no password is set

Status in debian-installer package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I found an issue when installing Ubuntu via IPXE and the network-
  console (the SSH installer). It is not possible any more to set a
  password in the preseed file.

  The commands

  d-i network-console/password password somepasswd
  d-i network-console/password-again password somepasswd

  are ignored and the file /etc/shadow shows no encrypted password for
  the installer user.

  The issue occurrs on Ubuntu 19.04 and 19.10, on Ubuntu 18.10 and
  below, this problem does not exist.
