sudo *SH -c '...' -* as mentioned above. But it is not written in WIki.
In my opinion, "sudo -i" might be added to the wiki articles. I would
prefer to see a warning concerning compound shell commands in *sudo* docs.
J, my impressions is that you read some docs strongly suggesting to
prefix every command instead of just becoming root. It is reasonable
recommendation in general case since sudo facilitates auditing and this
practice encourages running most commands without elevated privileges.
On the other hand system rescue using a live image is a special case.
Logs are not saved by default. You need to run a bunch of commands
requiring root privileges. It is more convenient to run "sudo -i" or "su
-" once.
If somebody is going to add a hint concerning sudo to wiki, please, make
https://wiki.debian.org/RescueLive
https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstall
https://wiki.debian.org/GrubEFIReinstallOnLUKS
articles consistent (perhaps by including a fragment of some page to
others using wiki macros).
