Description
```
+ export KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1
+ KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1
+ sleep 1
+ keybase service
Oops, you are trying to run as an admin user (Uid: 0). This isn't supported.
```
What am I doing wrong? I'm using the deb from `https://prerelease.keybase.io/keybase_amd64.deb`

Research direction
Start by reproducing the reported `keybase service` invocation with `KEYBASE_ALLOW_ROOT=1` using the prerelease Debian package described in the issue. Trace the service's handling of the root-user check and environment variable; done means the documented setting produces the intended behavior or the issue clearly reports why it cannot.
