I'd love to be able to give fine grained control over what is installed,
but given that we have powerful tools like apt for that make
post-installing whatever package you want dead easy, I don't see a
pressing need to either always install sudo just to fit a particular use

I think this is problematic and should be prompted for during the
install - like I'm pretty sure it was during the install of wheezy...

Seen we're already rebuilding openssh I'll look into it if someone will
