Bug#485655: debian-installer: The KDE images should use sudo too and configure KDE accordingly.

AFAICT from your log the installer never even tries to install sudo, which
leads me to the conclusion that you never selected the option for a
"rootless" system, which is the only situation D-I will set up sudo for
you. For default installs you're expected to use the root account for
admin tasks, or to install sudo yourself after the install.
Note: Debian does _not_ do a "sudo" setup by default like Ubuntu does!
You have to explicitly enable it and the relevant question is only asked
in expert mode (or if you boot the installer with 'priority=medium').
Please check the value of the passwd/root-login template in
/var/log/installer/cdebconf/questions.dat. If you selected a rootless
setup, that should be "false".

That seems to confirm what I say above: the option was never selected in
the first place. Not an issue but user error :-)
