Back in the Meego days, 'devel-su' would let you switch to, quite literally, a developer super user account, which had more privileges than a normal user but wasn't quite root (or at least it seems that way from the few user complaints I could find).
Well, not quite. Under Aegis, devel-su escalated your privileges to the max, but did not actually change to another account. (You could set up a developer account for interaction with the SDK, but it had no special privileges.) Also, under Aegis, root didn't have any special permissions, you were actually more privileged as a regular user than you were as root. Thus, regular "su" was useless. You just needed devel-su if you wanted to do stuff.
