This reverts commit 263a81e.

Only because sudo is used locally does not mean it should be used on
the remote machine:

  • One might use sudo locally because the configuration is not readable by the current user
  • One might not want to type in a sudo password locally while it might be needed when deploying remotely.

Instead it might be better to rely on a proper flag.
