Package: apper
Version: 0.9.1-2
Severity: important
Dear Maintainer,
I've installed Debian Jessie amd64 in VirtualBox from RC1 netinst iso. While
installing, I've chosen
not to set root password as I prefere having user with sudo group.
Now, when installation is finished, Apper allows me to install new software by
entering my user password, as expected, but when I click "Edit Origins", it asks
for root password, which is not set.
I take it as inconsistency.

Add your users to the sudo group, then it will be treated as admin user
by PolicyKit.
The Debian Installer should do that automatically, when you install a
system with a locked root account.
