I guess not, it seems that we haven't tested it full scenarios :-<

This must be broken from the beginning.  Basically the feature is present only
since Leap 15.3, and it's confirmed to broken, so...

Would 15.4 set up the root passwd before package installation?  If so, the fix
would be needed only for Leap 15.3 (for next possible quarterly update).
