The last version of Debian I installed that didn't install sudo at
installation time was around V2.2, around the year 2000.
However, even though sudo normally installs with modern Debian versions,
/etc/sudoers may not be automatically configured for your username at
installation time.

Thanks folks.
Once again, Google to the rescue: 'debian configure sudo' gave a
'fix' reply that gave the info. Done, and much happier. Now with sudo
working, update and upgrade complete properly. Still no benefit to
screen res - noted some missing bits from the non-free as the update
flew past - and still no sane shutdown :(
Further to the script, Lee: libgraphicsmagick1-dev needed.
Graphicsmagick itself is just the runtime - is it provided in a fresh
install anyway? and did 6 haul in the -dev with it? I didn't note before
starting this adventure. And yes, too many root passwords! Working sudo
might cure that by replacing the 'su -c's? And are they all necessary
anyway? (just a 'cosmetic', as the Italian auto industry puts it:
"omologato" :) ).
Finally, a working 2.0.7 in Jessie! Thanks, all, and Lee: a working
script headed your way off-list. You might want to tidy it up before
release into the wild. Diffs there might propagate into Ubuntu and
Raspbian (and other?) scripts, too?
