Depends on what you mean by "standard". From  user-setup-udeb_1.88_all.udeb.

  Template: passwd/make-user
  Type: boolean
  Default: true
  Description: Create a normal user account now?
   It's a bad idea to use the root account for normal day-to-day activities,
   such as the reading of electronic mail, because even a small mistake can
   result in disaster. You should create a normal user account to use for
   those day-to-day tasks.

The OP's requirements are very nurky. Whatever he wants can be done from
the installer.
