I made an addition to my autologin recipe that does this:

pkg_postinst_${PN} () {
  sed 's_S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty_S:2345:respawn:/sbin/getty -n -l
/usr/bin/autologin_' /etc/inittab > inittab.tmp
  mv inittab.tmp /etc/inittab
  passwd -d root
  echo 'NOTE: remove the password from the root account'
}

pkg_prerm_${PN} () {
  sed 's_ -n -l /usr/bin/autologin__' /etc/inittab > inittab.tmp
  mv inittab.tmp /etc/inittab
  echo 'NOTE: there is still no password on the root account'
}

Does this make sense?  I don't know if this is the ideal way to do it
but it seems to work for me.
