Replying to myself, yadayada :)
I'm stupid. Of course what I said there doesn't even matter, because
otherwise the installing user is root anyway. I still totally fail to
see the security hole though. Anyway, I think this has been discussed to
death (Google has 621,000 hits for ubuntu+root+security).

I must however say I would very much like it to have su give a
reasonable answer when someone uses it.
