This is not an account definition for the =E2=80=9Croot=E2=80=9D user.  The=
 manual says
that the =E2=80=9Croot=E2=80=9D user account is special:

 -- Scheme Variable: %base-user-accounts
     This is the list of basic system accounts that programs may expect
     to find on a GNU/Linux system, such as the =E2=80=9Cnobody=E2=80=9D ac=
count.

     Note that the =E2=80=9Croot=E2=80=9D account is not included here.  It=
 is a
     special-case and is automatically added whether or not it is
     specified.

I suppose you can just use chsh to change the root user=E2=80=99s default s=
hell.
