We should use += instead of :append in all cases unless the semantics of
append are actually needed. My understanding is that we just need to
ensure that add_empty_root_password_note appears after
zap_empty_root_password in ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND, and we don't need
to use append to do that.

It would also be better to keep the root password related modifications
of ROOTFS_POSTPROCESS_COMMAND together, so please move these lines up so
they are immediately after the zap_empty_root_password change above.

Thanks,
