OK. That's what I ended to think. My fault then. :)

I understand that, but I think that the _choice_ should be default, because it 
is what many _basic_ users (e.g. returning back to Debian from Ubuntu) expect 
(and the non-basic users choose the expert mode anyway). But it's not the 
point of this particular BR (Should I report one as wishlist or is there 
previous discussion/consensus ?)

OK. On both "standard" installations, passwd/root-login is not set => I have 
not been asked.

ACK. So the fact that I have not been asked about sudo (or rootless setup) is 
just a matter of priority in the installer.

But this bug should stay to ensure that _if_ the rootless setup is selected 
under KDE, kdesudo should be installed and configured over kdesu.
