Message

Mainly documentation (both in the manual and commit messages) and
extended/cleaner tests with the following considerations :

 * able to run as root, and therefore removed reported issue with message
 * remove perl function for a sudo native alternative and a more reliable
   execution by making sure to avoid its PATH interceptions.
 * would likely need more changes to the test framework to avoid odities
   but the deficiencies are clearly visible until then, and so safe for
   backporting.
