Public bug reported:

adbd crashes when adb root is used, instead it should be a noop,
this came up because the Ubuntu SDK is using adb root in one of the 
device detection scripts (Line 27):

<ogra_> zbenjamin, on android adbd starts as the shell user and with adb root you can switch to a full root user mode
<ogra_> we dont allow that at all
<zbenjamin> ogra_: sergiusens: ah ok 
<zbenjamin> thanks
<ogra_> zbenjamin, so a bug against android-tools would help ... adbd should not crash ... it should just be a no-op
<sergiusens> zbenjamin: you probably can get rid of the adb_root function comletely
<ogra_> zbenjamin, feel free to assign me directly
