Seems a part of the diff went missing, probably while rebasing. There
should be also

@@ -342,7 +342,7 @@ pub fn parse_answer(

         root_password: InstallRootPassword {
             plain: answer.global.root_password.clone(),
-            hashed: None,
+            hashed: answer.global.root_password_hashed.clone(),
         },
         mailto: answer.global.mailto.clone(),
         root_ssh_keys: answer.global.root_ssh_keys.clone(),

I'll send a v2 soon, although I'll let it bake on the mailing list a bit
first, in case there is some (other) feedback.
