[systemd-devel] systemd-firstboot skip root password initialisation if /etc/shadow is present

Hi,

I find odd that systemd-firstboot skips root password init if
/etc/shadow exists because AFAICS this file is always part of a
minimal rootfs after being setup by an installer. Indeed it's
populated during package installation.

So I can't see a case where systemd-firstboot would prompt for a root password.

Thanks.
