"Set empty live user password on all flavours, this was previously gdm specific."

sddm login to the live session is not possible. e.g. should the live session user log out or restart X/sddm

This is not a casper issue, but an SDDM one.

Not true. Tested and this actually works ok in 18.04 with sddm where the
password is empty.

It is entirely the unnecessary casper change, that broke this, so it
should remain a bug with both.

Fixed in:

casper (1.396) cosmic; urgency=medium

* On systems with SDDM, do not delete the password, because SDDM does not
have support for passwordless login yet.
