Bug Description

Binary package hint: mailman

Dear interested parties,

It will be most valuable in my opinion that the following debconf questions will be added to the package:

1. A debconf question which sets the site password
2. A debconf question which sets the list creator password

In the installation manual ( http://list.org/mailman-install/node44.html ) it is said that "It is okay not to set a list creator password, but you probably do want a site password.".

Having these things done by debconf will simplify the mailman installation further and save users time.

Many blessings.
