Just thinking loudly: home folders are special on their own, and root 
home is even more special.

Adding files to home folders is usually done through the /etc/skel 
directory, that's content is supposed to be copied into newly created 
users' folders by useradd. However not sure if it works with root also. 
Haven't tried it, though that would be my first try. My second would be 
to copy the file somewhere else, and have an init script checks upon 
startup if the file is at the correct place...
