CC'ing you , assuming you're not subscribed. I'd say that reading the value of passwd/root-login debconf template is the safest way. If you get "false", then the system is a sudo-only system. Of course, that will tell you what you need only when the rootless system has been installed by choosing the appropriate option in D-I.
