Mmmmm I have ALWAYS been asked for a root password at debian
installation. Is this behaviour new in the last 3-4 weeks?
The installer activates sudo only if you left root password blank - your
choice; not default.
I left the root password blank, in order to not have the root account
activated and to receive the sudo configuration automatically for my
one, main, "normal" user. Maybe not default, but done following the
official documentation offering this option for consideration (I do not
have the exact reference available right now, but I am sure to have
followed and received knowledge about this option from documentation
published on the Debian site, most likely even from the installation
manual itself).
