Package: policykit-1 Followup-For: Bug #566586 Upon further consideration, I think it makes the most sense to just use the existing group "sudo" for this. Group "sudo" already has root-equivalent permissions in the default sudoers file, and debian-installer already has support for doing an install with sudo configured by default and the initial user in group sudo. Thus, making sudo root-equivalent in policykit as well would make sense.
To do so, install the following as a new file /var/lib/polkit-1/localauthority/10-vendor.d/sudo.pkla : [Admin] Identity=unix-group:sudo Action=* ResultActive=yes The same file with a different unix-group: would work if you prefer to make a new group for this. (However, a new group has the disadvantage of not existing by default on new installs, which means debian-installer can't automatically put the initial user in that group.)
