So I'd at least want to have the current behaviour as default You know, Mac OS X actually handles this pretty well: the first user account that's created is by default an "Admin" (which places them into /etc/sudoers, and enables their UI sudo to work for them). Every additional user that's created is by default not an Admin, but can easily be made one. It doesn't seem that bad of an idea to make the Debian installer just make the user account that's created on install be an admin by default. M
