So, I'll say at the beginning: I understand why developing as root in
SB is A Bad Thing :)

That said, I would like to be able to do so in very specific
circumstances, like when building up a fresh target (to become the
image for a target device) by downloading/installing packages with
APT.

Since package post-installation scripts sometimes need to make device
nodes, or tweak binaries to be set-uid root, this seems to be a
legitimate function.

Is there a way that I can override the safety checks and do some work
as root? E.g.,

# /scratchbox/login apt-get install packages-for-target
