Qubes R3.2 cannot be automatically installed using kickstart without automatic partitioning (i.e., no autopart, but explicit part, volgroup, logvol). This is caused by this patch: QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os@492e293 (reverting it helps). The patch enables encryption by default.

The problem is, anaconda also keeps global "is disk encrypted" state in this object:
https://github.com/QubesOS/qubes-installer-qubes-os/blob/master/anaconda/pyanaconda/ui/gui/spokes/storage.py#L346. If autopart is not instantiated explicitly (by means of kickstart), it has the default of encrypted=True and no password.

This bug is prevents automatic test environment. The autopart directive cannot be utilized, because autopart takes all available space for / (spare around 4GB for swap), but we need to have space for snapshots.

anaconda: fix encryption passphrase check 
The installer checks if there is password for autopart. It should check
that only if autopart is actually in use.
