Don't know. How 'bout let the /root/.emacs file do something like:

    (load (concat "~" (user-login-name) "/.emacs"))
    
?
For convenience, we could provide an ad-hoc function that would do that
"right" (i.e. looking for .emacs, .emacs.d/init.el, and things like
that).  We could even put it in /root/.emacs.d/early-init.el.
