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

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 :)
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.
