  True, it is complex.

Maybe we could have an option in firstboot(and other such places) by which user can override the default non-root account creation. Ie. Say a user is prompted to create non-root user account; He/she can choose to override it and not create one. In such workflow, he/she is warned about the possible lockout situation and duly advised to explicitly enable remote root login in sshd_config(5).

(Just a thought)
