Through the PAM configuration for SSH shipped with the openssh-server package,

The file /etc/ssh/denyusers has "root" in it by default.
I read somewhere some time ago that PermitRootLogin in sshd_config is ignored
if PAM is used.
That may be the reason for this.
Nope, I just tested it and that is not true.
There is an explicit comment in the configuration file:
# Depending on your PAM configuration,
# PAM authentication via ChallengeResponseAuthentication may bypass
# the setting of "PermitRootLogin without-password".
My understanding is just than some specific PAM configuration would
eventually allow root user to authenticate through a password, instead
of a key.
Regarding your original problem, feel free to commit the relevant
modifications.
