+using /etc/default/debconf-video.passwd
+---------------------------------------
+
+/etc/default/debconf-video needs to contain passwords, which we don't
+want to keep world readable in SVN. It also needs to be different on
+each machine depending on the task of the machine. 
+
+Therefore the config files are kept in conf/dc8/default-$HOSTNAME with
+placeholders for the passwords. Using FAI they are copied to 
+/etc/default/debconf-video and the correct passwords are put into the 
+files. To make this possible a file /etc/default/debconf-video.passwd
+needs to be created manually once on the machines. The file is sourced
+by FAI so it needs to have valid shell syntax:
+
+### begin /etc/default/debconf-video.passwd example:
+export ICECAST_PASS=fubar
+### end
