Title:
  Ubiquity crashes when password hash in seed contains a colon

Status in ubiquity package in Ubuntu:
  Won't Fix

Bug description:
  Unfortunately it's been a while since I took notes on this bug, didn't
  find time to report it immediately and now I can't reconstruct the
  version information exactly. It happened on March 5th, 2018 while
  installing Ubuntu xenial desktop 32-bit from a live USB drive.

  observed behavior:
  Install wizard crashes, leaves /target mounted.

  syslog (all lines were prefixed with "/plugininstall.py: "):
  > Exception during installation:
  >  Traceback (most recent call last):
  >    File "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 1779, in <module>
  >      install.run()
  >    File "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 79, in wrapper
  >      func(self)
  >    File "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 205, in run
  >      self.configure_plugins()
  >    File "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 571, in configure_plugins
  >      self.run_plugin(plugin)
  >    File "/usr/share/ubiquity/plugininstall.py", line 548, in run_plugin
  >      "Plugin %s failed with code %s" % (plugin.NAME, ret))
  >  ubiquity.install_misc.InstallStepError: Plugin usersetup failed with code 1

  expected behavior:
  Lecture me (ideally, very early) about how the password hash in my seed cannot contain a colon.
