d-i only adds the first user to the sudo group if root does not have a
password.

logind is not involved in making users root-equivalent; that's a job for
sudo and/or policykit.

d-i installs systemd by default. systemd ensures that common-session PAM
file (which is used by xdm) lists pam_systemd.so, which carries out
systemd-logind registration.
The various desktop tasks in current tasksel install gdm3, kdm or
lightdm; none of them install xdm. An Openbox/XDM-based desktop is "some
assembly required" (but if that's the sort of desktop you want, then you
probably aren't going to accept anyone else's default setup choices anyway).
