Colin, I think the problem isn't in passwd. When I say "real username", I want
to say "full name". Your full name is "Colin Watson", but your username is (say)
"cjwatson".

The problem appears when the user type an accented vocal in the full name, when
the installer ask him for it (for example, my fullname is "Ricardo Pérez López",
with accented vocals, and my username is "ricardo"). That is why I put
"debian-installer" in the bugreport's "Package" field.

I think bug #7427 talks about accented vocals in the "username", not in the "full
name". I think we're talking about two different problems.

I think, therefore, this bug must be reopened. Please, ask me if you don't see
it clear.
