[Pkg-kde-extras] Bug#875107: RM: kdesudo -- ROM; Deprecated upstream and superseded by kdesu

Package: ftp.debian.org
Package: kdesudo
Severity: serious

kdesudo still uses Qt 3 libraries (with the Qt 4 compatibility layer)
and has not seen upstream commits since 2011. It's superseded by kdesu,
which is Qt 5 and works fine.

kdesu has seen several CVEs, and in my opinion, it's more of a liability
to keep kdesudo than to keep it. It should also be removed because of
the Qt 4 removal in Buster.
