Root access via SSH key is one case, yeah. The other is with cloud-init,
where the user is created automatically at boot time using information from
the metadata source.

Either of these can be covered with a kickstart directive.

For the cloud images, and anywhere else where size matters, I'd also like to
avoid pulling in a big one-time-setup infrastructure which won't be used, so
hopefully the dependency integration won't be so tight that the package
itself can't be avoided.
