I'm safe from that one on two counts.

I did the partitioning and permission steps on the same installation 
tests on the same combination of hardware and OS.

Since Squeeze I've followed the same installation routine. I allow login

Once in the past I had cause to investigate UID's among installs. They 
were always the same.
