You are the only people that include this with out being ask by the user and
only after
you go through some kind of verification process to validate the one
requesting the information is the proper person.

Any kind of security information is from my point of view is a security
Breach.
With this small amount of information I could easily guess the remaining
required information for access to an account on your system.
When logged in the I would have access to privileged information about
the account holder.

FROM MY POINT OF VIEW, REDHAT BY INCLUDING ANY ACCOUNT INFORMATION HAS
BREACHED THEIR RESPONSIBILITY TO KEEP PRIVILEGED INFORMATION PRIVATE!!!!

I hope other users of your site agree this is a business practice that needs
to be stopped
and may be in violation of your own privacy policy!!!

It doesn't include your password, just your e-mail and RHN log-in. FWIW, it
is common practice for passwords to be e-mailed when forgotten, so it would
not have been that outrageous to see it in an e-mail.

As for what else is done with your privileged information, that's explained
in our privacy policy.

Good luck with Debian.
