Currently, migration-assistant uses a colon character in place of a space for any question that contains a username with a space in it. This is done because, as I understand it, debconf cannot handle questions with spaces in the name of the key. I imagine it might be possible to change the IFS to handle this situation, and I'll look into that.

Note that this *only* applies where the Windows username is part of the debconf question.
