The debian foswiki package prompts for the admin password on each upgrade, even once it has been set. It should be less interactive, never prompting more than once, and generating a random admin password if none exist and can't be prompted for.

This becomes more apparent when packages update frequently, in testing or tracking security updates.

randomly generated password is pretty scary, but secure is better than not
