I'm not sure which is correct: the current implementation of user-setup
/allow-password-empty is very clean, and possibly useful.  I don't think
it's the right long-term solution for MID, and I agree with the point of
view that it's probably unsafe to really have no password on an
installed system, and better to use an automatic-login facility (as even
a well-known default password is less likely to get hit by an automated
scan than a blank password).

That said, it seems to me that it would make sense to be consistent
across our tools, and if we did want to preserve user-setup/allow-
password-empty, use it also in other places where we wish to have this
sort of password (e.g. casper), although I believe it to be late enough
in the Jaunty cycle this is unwarranted.
