Actually, David question was not
"is allowing root login through ssh a good idea ?"

which is not decidable anyway, but
"in order to prevent root login in default configuration, should also 
make use of pam_listfile in ssh pam configuration file, which is 
redundant and unknown currently of out security-assistant-wizard ?"
