In Ubuntu, upon install of the operating system, the created account has sudo access. However, in Debian, sudoers have to be added manually.
How can this be achieved if I have to remaster a debian system for personal use?

Adding a user to the sudo group in Debian is explained at this link:
sudo - Debian Wiki
Not sure what you intend with the remaster. Are you planning to use remastersys to create a remastered system?
I know how to add a user to the sudoers, I've done it plenty of times. What I am asking is how did Ubuntu have it where the created user account upon installation is added to the sudoers file? Because (correct me if I am wrong) Debian does not have the default user account added to sudo, you have to log into root and know how to mess with the sudoers.
And yes I am using remastersys.
It's been a while but IIRC you get the sudo access for your first user by not specifying a root password. In such a case the user created at install time will have sudo access.
