Comment(by AlbertCahalan):

 Enabling the "wheel" group and placing "olpc" in that group will solve the
 problem with less complexity and annoyance.

 Thus, I object.

 There is in fact no need to install sudo. Though surely well-tested, it is
 in fact yet another setuid program. Reducing the number of setuid programs
 would be a good idea.
