Yes.  And I mean it might make sense to include a script like the one
I linked to in your upstream tarball (to fit Sebastians suggestion).
If there is a script which just fullfills this rule - which one
should be installed.  There are some scripts provided in your tarball.
Which one is worth moving to the Debian package and could you provide
simple manpages for these?

Once again: If you start a script as root you do not need any sudo.
If you are not root, sudo has to be configured first.  This need to
be documented at a prominent place.

Kind regards
