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).
