Bug Description

Installing the package landscape-common on a machine creates the landscape user with a /bin/false shell, however there is nothing preventing us creating a 'normal' user called landscape in the ubuntu or debian installer, but it inherit the /bin/false shell and cannot login.

We should tell the user one way or the other (documentation? installer update?) to avoid using 'landscape' as user login.
