The binary "/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/libexec/kf5/kdesu" included in package kde-cli-tools is not linked to any of the PATH directories. This way we can't execute the program directly from the terminal.

It would be good to have the binary symlinked to /usr/bin

kdesu is not as secure as we would like it to be, mostly due to X (see https://blog.martin-graesslin.com/blog/2017/02/editing-files-as-root/ for example). It's currently sort of deprecated upstream and a replacement is in the works (probably based on policykit). As such I really don't want to attract more users to kdesu.

Happy hacking,
