Xubuntu LTS 6.06 installer allows root as default user, resulting in unusable installation

[TEN]

root can be entered as the initial user name in the default Xubuntu 6.06 installer without warning.
This might even be a natural choice for users from other distributions (where setting up root first is the standard/recommended procedure).
On (X)Ubuntu, where being root is deprecated, though, it will result in a setup that is wrecked from the outset, of course (with settings/privileges being wrong all over the place).
Have not tried yet whether this issue still exists on Xubuntu LTS 6.06.1 as well.
