That may be intended. I don't think Debian (out of the box) allows root
to log in at all. Instead, you're expected to log in as an unprivileged
user and then 'upgrade' to root (via sudo - which takes THAT USER'S
password). If you gave root a password during install, then you should
be able to log in at a VT with root, but not via SSH/*DM etc.
