Dear maintainers,

I am trying to remove sudo from a multiuser system, where users are unable to
use it in the first place. This is mostly working for most installs,
unfortuantely desktop machines using KDE are still pulling it in via the
depdendency chain

$ aptitude why sudo
i   kde-plasma-desktop Depends plasma-desktop (>= 4:6.3.4)
i A plasma-desktop     Depends kde-cli-tools (>= 4:6.2.90~)
i A kde-cli-tools      Depends libkf6su6 (>= 6.10.0~)
i A libkf6su6          Depends sudo

It would be nice if sudo could be downgraded to a recommends.
