[SRU] ssh root login broken

This bug was fixed in the package ubuntu-vm-builder - 0.6

---------------
ubuntu-vm-builder (0.6) intrepid; urgency=low

  * Release into Ubuntu proper.

ubuntu-vm-builder (0.5ubuntu1~ppa4) intrepid; urgency=low

  [Loic Minier]
  * Call sh -c "$EXEC_SCRIPT" instead of "$EXEC_SCRIPT"; allows to pass
    arguments to the script; also remove check that EXEC_SCRIPT exists.

  [Nick Barcet]
  * Adding an error handler to fix LP: #217950
  * Lots of sanitization to allow for error handler
  * Add an interrupt handler to cleanup if user interrupts script
  * Stop on error in user script to fix LP: #228675
  * --ssh-key adds key to root and --ssh-user-key adds key to user
  * Added --raw option to install on raw devices/files.
    WARNING: the variables used in template files for disk definition have been
    modified. Please insure that locally created templates are updated to
    reflect this change.
  * Add --firstboot and --firstlogin options
  * First login always execute "sudo dpkg-reconfigure console-setup" so
    that the local keyboard setting is taken into account.
  * Adding the --iso parameter to create image from an iso. This requires
    suite and kernel-flavour parameters to match what is available on the iso,
    obviously.
  * Include hostname in default destination directory if defined
  * Do not use a tmpfs by default anymore
  * Place the working directory in the same directory as dest if using --tmp -
  * Added --tmpfs option to specify usage of a tmpfs for the working directory
  * VM specific parameters do not need to be the last ones anymore
  * Unknown parameters now return an error and prints usage
  * Added --overwrite for overwriting of destination directory and libvirt
    domain
  * Added ~/.ubuntu-vm-builder config handling
  * Man page improvements and reorganization

Accepted into -proposed, please test and give feedback here

The following change is part of the update from 0.1 to 0.2:

 --ssh-key Add the given ssh public key file (absolute path)
- to root's authorized keys and install openssh-server
+ to user's authorized keys and install openssh-server
                    (WARNING: this has strong security implications)
...
        fi
        # we have a key, add it
        chroot root apt-get install --force-yes -y openssh-server
- mkdir root/root/.ssh
- cp "$SSHKEY" root/root/.ssh/authorized_keys
+ mkdir root/home/$VMUSER/.ssh
+ cp "$SSHKEY" root/home/$VMUSER/.ssh/authorized_keys
+ chroot root chown -R $VMUSER:$VMUSER /home/$VMUSER/.ssh
+}
+

I don't think it is part of this bugfix in particular, but this breaks the behavior between the version of ubuntu-vm-builder in hardy and the behavior of the version in hardy-proposed and is IMHO unsuitable for a SRU.

I also couldn't find a entry in the changelog of 0.1 to 0.2 that indicates this change. The upload breaks ssh login for me.

Thanks,
 Michael
