My etch box has /etc/sudoers but I wonder if it came with sudo by
default. 
Perhaps "apt-get -s -f install sudo" could help ?

(With "-s" apt switches to the "dry run" mode, spitting out all
commands but actually not taking action. If the output looks good, then
remove "-s" and run again the command)

I had issues with sudo for squeezecenter. First you could try adding
the squeezecenter to the sudo group,
I will take a look at the plugin. I have made the original script work
on my box, here are a few hints:
- /etc/shutdown is of no relevance as far as I understand. I have not
created it.
- You could add the squeezecenter user to the "sudo" users group to
allow it to run the shutdown command : "usermod -a -G sudo
squeezecenter". Normally this is supposed to slice bread but since my
/etc/sudoers file had no definition for a "%sudo" group, it had no
effect.
I ended up adding **using the visudo command** the following line to
/etc/sudoers:
"squeezecenter  ALL = NOPASSWD: /sbin/shutdown*"
Only type "visudo" (as root) then add this line (without quotes).
- Last I had an issue because of the 'lecture' option of sudo. First
time you use it, sudo lectures you on how dangerous using sudo is.
There is no logon shell defined for the squeezecenter system user,  and
I think this is a problem for the lecture thing. Sudo never works.
I did this to make it work: 
as root edit /etc/passwd and on the squeezecenter line, replace
":/bin/false" at the end of the line with ":/bin/sh".
