Oh, I just realized that at least on Arch the sudo can be dropped if the user is in the tty group. That grants rw access to /dev/tty*, which are in the list of console devices kbd attempts to open:

Debian also has this group: https://wiki.debian.org/SystemGroups#Other_System_Groups

so probably it's enough to drop sudo and add tty to the groups mentioned in the readme and folk-live
