1.  There is a root account, it just doesn't have a password.
2.  The first user account created has full root privileges via sudo.  Other 
accounts can be granted such privileges.
3.  Although I understand how Ubuntu's disabled-root approach works and the 
rationale behind it, I also prefer Debian's more traditional approach of 
setting up a root password during installation.
