Hello,
Thank you for all the responses. I guess debian developers have prepared for 
this need. The solution is to use key-based authentication for ssh. That 
simple. Cool!

Additional info:
Ssh-ing as root is permitted in Ubuntu. It is enabled by default 
in: /etc/ssh/sshd_config: PermitRootLogin yes
Thanks.
