A null password allows logging into local PAM services such as "login"
(agetty) and KDM. That's not actually a security problem for EC2
machines, since they do not have "local" logins; for VirtualBox
machines, if you local access, you can do anything anyway. But it's
better to be on the safe side and disable password-based logins for
root.

everywhere, they can now use mkVMOverride.

It requires a writable /nix/store to store the build result. Also,
wait until we've reached multi-user.target before doing the build, and
