The document that started this thread includes a command to circumvent
the Ubuntu security standard and enable root ssh on the current beta2 image:

    sudo cp /home/ubuntu/.ssh/authorized_keys /root/.ssh/

I don't imagine folks who do this are going to want to disable root ssh
subsequently, but that could be done with a command like:

    sudo rm /root/.ssh/authorized_keys

I doubt you're going to get "blessed commands" for these actions.
