My bug report #2127128 was closed as a duplicate of this one. I'm not
sure why. I can't see how splitting the packages and moving the old one
to universe would solve that issue.

The _dist-upgrade_ procedure, from one Ubuntu version to the next, has
to make sure to _remove_ old sudo.

That's because the ultimate goal is to increase security, and having
both versions installed parallel (as it happens after dist-upgrading to
25.10), both setuid root, can only decrease security, never increase it.

Why isn't it already critical for 25.10? And why is it targeted for
26.10 only, not 26.04 LTS?

Maybe I'm just not familiar with the terminology used in this bugreport,
but I don't understand it.

Title:
  split /etc/sudoers into a new package and make sudo Depend on it

Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed
Status in sudo package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  split /debian/etc into a new package (sudo-common) and make sudo
  Depend on it. This will help us in making sudo-rs as the only `sudo`
  provider.

  sudo-rs should be the only sudo provider in 26.10.

  sudo.ws should move to universe.
