Ok, so if I run a password generator to change the root password, I
should update it in debconf 
dbconfig-common/mysql/admin-pass        password?

My problem is installing an application without user interraction when
the mysql root password is random and not stored.

I get an error when populating the database:
--8<---------------cut here---------------start------------->8---
ERROR 1045 (28000): Access denied for user 'root'@'localhost' (using password: NO)
--8<---------------cut here---------------end--------------->8---

Retry does not prompt me for a new password if debconf priority is not
sufficiently low.

Regards.
