Root access over SSH enabled by default
#4
One other thing, the original Debian did not create, (or re-generate), the SSH host keys on first boot. Looks like it used the host keys from the distribution. This should not be done. All SSH host keys should be unique per computer. It's part of SSH's security.

I wrote a tutorial page about "hardening" your Pinebook Pro, which included re-generating the SSH host keys here;
