I don't get it, Lisi.

In Debian you can easily go for one or another path.

Should you want to use sudo, you can select it with the expert install or 
you can configure after the installation (if standard root login was 
selected).

I think any Ubuntu user that now is using Debian would of course ask 
where is "sudo" and probably want to have it setup also in Debian, which 
is an easy task.
