Hi all,

I was bite by this one [YOCTO #3917] in *danny* branch not allowing me 
to create a rootfs based in DEB packages. Sometimes happens, sometimes 
not, depending on whether 'base-files' is installed in the rootfs before 
or after 'base-passwd'.

Cherry-picking this commit from master fixes the problem.

So could it be also considered for backporting to 'danny' in oe-core and 
poky?

Thanks in advance.
