This changes the behavior, though. A blank password isn't the same as
setting the passwd to empty with -d. So you need to check for a lack of
a root pass and still set it with -d.
Also, instead of essentially running sed on /etc/shadow for the case of
a crypted password, you can use usermod -p. Or it could use libuser
like anaconda currently does, but that's probably overkill.
