On second thought, you only get this notice if you are able to ssh to
the root account with the correct private ssh key, so it's not much of a
security risk to point out the username at that point.

I have seen the "ubuntu" user message help new users of the Ubuntu AMIs,
so I would keep that information.

If they've reconfigured the username, then it's fine to remind them of
the it, or simply to return a rejection on root@, even though they're
using the right ssh key.  I don't even have a preferance.  Probably just
do whatever is easiest to implement.
