It does? It never seemed to work for me, so I stopped using it.

There must be a better way. For sudo, it's better to modify /etc/sudoers
like mine:
derek ALL=NOPASSWD: /usr/bin/aptitude, /sbin/ifconfig
Which lets me use aptitude and ifconfig without ever giving a password.
However, adding /usr/bin/kpackage to the list, and then invoking it with
kdesu still prompts.
