I'm not so sure whether it has anything to do with Debian, but rather the default tdm config file specifies safer when there are alternatives available.
Well, I have always understood from other Debian users that it does, I have used several different DEs with Debian, all with the same set-up, and it does not apply to all other distros whichever DE you use. I have not had a GUI root log-in since I abandoned a brief spell with OpenSuse many years ago.
I have always installed Debian with root enabled. This may make a difference.
I don't remember ever being offered that option when I installed. Nor a few other things that I was used to, like being able to configure my network as opposed to the installation just using DHCP because it found DHCP on the network. :-(
Where is this option available? Or was I supposed to install with some specific invocation that I missed?
