Bug#399823: kdebase-bin: please support other root gaining methods like sudo

[Marc Haber <mh+debian-bugs@zugschlus.de>]

Package: kdebase-bin
Version: 3.5.5a.dfsg.1-2
Severity: wishlist

Hi,

in a number of places inside the KDE system, packages use kdesu to
gain root privileges to do stuff. kdesu uses su as a backend and thus
needs the "real" root passsword.. My root passwords are so ugly that
they cannot be remembered.

Please consider adding support for other root gaining methods, for
example sudo. That way, I would only need to enter my user password if
sudo is appropriately configured.

Greetings
Marc
