The "correct" way to disable root completely is to make it expired "usermod --expiredate DATE_IN_PAST root". I tried it on my machine and found that pacman is broken. I believe it uses "su" before running install scripts.
Nothing about disabling the root account is "correct". If you disable the account, both 'su' and 'sudo' cannot function. You _need_ the root account.
