There's many reason why it is and is going to
continue to be difficult to do this:
1. All display-managers (excluding slim) default PAM rules
disallow root auto login.
2. We can't use wayland
3. We have to use system-wide pulseaudio
4. It could break applications in the session.
This happened to dolphin in plasma5
in the past.
This is a growing technical debt, let's just use
passwordless sudo.
Introduced by 0f3b89bbed.
If services.nixosManual.showManual is enabled and
documentation.nixos.enable is not, there is no
config.system.build.manual available, so evaluation fails. For example
this is the case for the installer tests.
There is however an assertion which should catch exactly this, but it
isn't thrown because the usage of config.system.build.manual is
evaluated earlier than the assertions.
So I split the assertion off into a separate mkIf to make sure it is
shown appropriately and also fixed the installation-device profile to
enable documentation.nixos.

I broke it:
in job ‘nixos.iso_graphical.x86_64-linux’:
The option `services.udisks2.enable' has conflicting definitions, in `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/profiles/installation-device.nix' and `/nix/store/bwcjw1ddj94q83vbbnq1nnrs5aisaw59-source/nixos/modules/services/x11/desktop-managers/plasma5.nix'.
Add another option for debugging instead. Lots of users have been
complaining about this default behaviour.
This patch also cleans up the EFI bootloader entries in the ISO.
Allow password login to the installation this allows doing remote installation
via SSH. All that need to be done on the local machine is:
1. Boot from the installation media
2. Set a password with passwd
3. Enable SSH with systemctl start sshd
It is safe as root doesn't have a password by default
and SSH is disabled by default.
Fixes#20718
Using pkgs.lib on the spine of module evaluation is problematic
because the pkgs argument depends on the result of module
evaluation. To prevent an infinite recursion, pkgs and some of the
modules are evaluated twice, which is inefficient. Using ‘with lib’
prevents this problem.
