My opinion is that if the user uses sudo, so either it was installed and 
configured automatically (such as Ubuntu) or have it installed and set 
himself deliberately. In such cases, tdelibs dependency on sudo is 
unnecessary.

But if sudo is installed "involuntarily", due to tdelibs dependency, sudo is 
not configured and is therefore useless. In such case, tdelibs dependency on 
sudo is unnecessary.

Somehow I miss a case where this dependency is useful :)
