The first user won't be root. The first user will have sudo permissions.
So just install Ubuntu and you'll have exactly what you wanted.
The root user will be created behind the scene, but root login will be disabled.

The user will be added to the sudo-group, which would let the user usesudoto become root (after entering his password). (A less flexible way, would've been to make an entry for the user in /etc/sudoers.)
