Hello Niccolo,
This is assuming that sudo is configured that way, no ? Debian systems do not have to
use sudo for superuser privileges.

The issue is that su-to-root need to know whether it must use kdesudo or kdesu,
and neither PAM nor sudo will tell that.
In GNOME, gksu handles both root-passwordful and root-passwordless systems through a
gconf setting, so this is less of an issue.
