Package: policykit-1
Version: 0.104-2
Severity: serious
Tags: d-i

In d-i, it is very easy to set up a system without entering a root
password. d-i sets up sudo, and configures gksu to use it
(by changing an alternative).

On such a system, I was prompted by policykit for the (nonexistant) root
password when network-manager wanted to authenticate me in order to
associate to a wireless network. I assume policykit prompts for the root
password for other things too.

If there is some setting we can make in d-i to new installs to make
policykit use sudo, please let me know, and I will make it. It wouldn't
solve the problem when upgrading existing installs that use sudo, but
it'd be better than nothing.

Quoting Denis Laxalde (denis@laxalde.org):
