indeed... sudo is an ubuntu thing but INMHO having no root login enabled should be a security default. Anyway I added a preliminary to reflect your comment.

Under Debian, you have little use for sudo. It is under Ubuntu that you need it.

I agree that only a newbie will not notice the mistake, and newbies typically don't set up complex mail servers. Still, the manual is good, and will be a little bit better without it.
