While it's just a small, niggling detail and may be just semantics,
there is a true root account on Ubuntu that can be used the same as a
root account on any Debian release. The only difference is it doesn't
have a password on setup.

You've GOT to be kidding... Right? Please?
"doesn't have a password" does not mean "empty password" in this case. /etc/shadow has "!" for root's password field, which, together with pam
config, prevents logging into account.
