Bug#779578: user-setup: Please install sudo when installing without root password
Package: user-setup
Severity: normal
Tags: d-i
I installed jessie from the daily netinst image and did not enter a
password for root. The end result was a working system without root
access as sudo was not installed.
The installer should make sure that sudo is installed, when the root
password is left empty.
I was installing on a hard-drive with /etc and /home from a previous
jessie install. The installer should also add the user created during
root-passwordless installation to the group 'sudo', but since my previous
install already had this, I do not know if this is made on fresh
install.
