Yes, I agree - there is no dependency per default and if user takes tdesudo
it would pull sudo as dependency, but otherwise I would leave it as it is.
As it was already stated this is optional package on purpose.

The question I had in this context was however, why after removing all
desktop stuff debian suggests to purge sudo (autoremove), but I guess I'll
ask in the debian user list.
