Since sudo-rs is not a perfect replacement for sudo.ws, we want to keep
sudo.ws supported in the next LTS release. Both binaries are present to
make it as easy as possible to switch between the two. Installing
sudo.ws will require Internet access, which is not always possible.
26.10 will give sufficient time to prepare users for the change, example
updating password prompt in their scripts. We will use the
conflicts/replace to make sudo-rs the only sudo provider as you
suggested.

Comparison with rust-coreutils is not correct since incompatibility with
gnu coreutils is seen as a bug, which is not the case for sudo-rs.

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.
