You started your mail with wrong attitude...

No one can produce operating system that will suite everyone out of the
box. Ubuntu policy is to not create root account and not allow root GUI
login. This is not a bug, this is a feature. If you don't like it, you
can change it.

I don't use KDE, but I can imagine that this has something to do with
"su -". You can run vi /etc/apt/sources.list. But if you really want
kate or some other GUI application, you can open normal terminal and
start it with sudo or su, but not with su -. I do like that root
terminal starts with "su -" and I op for not changing that.

cdrdao is in universe repository. Neither is impossible to change
sources.list and neither it that a problem for vast majority of users.

You could say that this with thunderbird is a bug, but that works very
well in Gnome, since thunderbird open enviorments browser.
Mozilla-browser is browser, not a whole suite. mozila-mailnews is
package that will add mail and news client for you browser. This package
is in universe.

Yes.
