dab task mysql clarification

Please verify whether the line 1576 in /usr/share/perl5/PVE/DAB.pm (in dab v1.1.9) is valid.
It currently states:
Code:
    my $rpw = $password eq 'random' ? 'admin' : $password;
<del>This is possibly wrongly inverted</del>.
It appears that a script is inited - mysql_randompw - so that it is generated to be a 9 character random string at creation time of container.

At line 26 of the /etc/init.d/mysql_randompw , the mysqladmin statement is invoked - at this stage in the DAB.pm at line 1585 where it is called from. Only subsequently in DAB.pm at line 1589 is the mysql started.

Line 1496 of DAB.pm however uses
Code:
/usr/sbin/mysqld --bootstrap --user=mysql --skip-grant-tables
and can hence successfully evaluate the SQLs at lines 1569 and 1578 possibly without the mysql being explicitly started.

Therefore, line 1589 should precede line 1584, ie., mysql must be started just after the /root/.my.cnf file has been written.

Should the last 2 lines of /usr/lib/dab/scripts/mysql_randompw be reversed? - First remove the symlink using the update-rc.d statement and then remove the file itself.

Why - does it produce errors the way we do it now?
