 You mean: on updates, check if localcipher in /etc/passwd.conf != sha1,
 if so ask:
 
    "If you do not have a strong reason to keep ${oldcipher} for encryption
     of local passwords, I would love to fix it (to sha1) for you.
     Shall I fix it?"
 
 And then just edit that line?

 P.S.: please feel free to provide a better version of the text, if Julian
 does not beat me to it, I'll have a look adding that to sysinst ;-)
