Here it is, in the extras repository. So the only thing I don't know.. is if App Manager hides it, and you have to drop to a shell to run "apt-get install rootsh".

ETA: In fact.. that's the only way you *could* install this app.. since you can't run dpkg without it installed.

So yes.. it's that easy.
I'm not talking how easy it is to install rootsh. I'm talking how challenging it seems for "joe" to install standalone debs with the terminal in comparison with red pill mode. And it's good that way.
