I believe this is because OpenSSH, being highly pedantic (I suppose
rightfully so), will refuse to acknowledge ~/.ssh/authorized_keys when
its owner or permissions are wrong.  (Or even merely the permissions on
$HOME?)

Additionally, it's a best-practice to disable password-authentication
for the root account in sshd_config (Debian 8 proposes it at least) to
prevent the chance of successful brute-force/dictionary attacks.

Together that would mean no root SSH access to the machine at all.
