Title:
  Cannot create a user "håkan"

Status in Shadow:
  Invalid
Status in adduser package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in user-setup package in Ubuntu:
  Triaged
Status in adduser package in Debian:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  This is on the latest Ubuntu preview release.

  If I filed this bug on the wrong package, feel free to move it -
  thanks!

  Steps to reproduce:

  1. Run the installer and go to the step where you create a new user.
  2. Real name doesn't seem to matter.
  3. Put in username "håkan" (without the quotes)
  4. Type in password, and click OK.

  Actual behaviour: The guide goes back to step 1, ignoring to create the desired 
  user. Probably it can't handle the character 'å', and fails silently.

  Expected behaviour: I would like to be able to use my first name as
  username.

  Tested software packages/commands:
  user-setup: failed
  adduser: failed
  useradd: passed
