set sudo as an alternative

[Ravi Kant Sharma]

Following the public post https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/adopting-sudo-rs-by-default-in-ubuntu-25-10/60583

This is a tracking report to make changes to sudo.

This should be reviewed together with https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-sudo-rs/+bug/2111423.

I'm adding the block-proposed tag. I consider it a violation of Debian Policy § 2.2.1 (once translated to Ubuntu archive specifics) for a package in main to have Recommends on a package in universe.

Practically, this would mean that people who install Ubuntu Desktop or Server from a daily image after that change would not have sudo-rs but upgraders or people who install from a Desktop Flavor would.

That means this is blocked on LP: #2113928

jbicha, thanks for the explanation.

related, don't I need to add sudo-rs to be available in the daily image?

[Ravi Kant Sharma (ravi-sharma)]

MIR docs answered my question, I have to add it to the seeds after the MIR team ACK.

[Ravi Kant Sharma (ravi-sharma)]

sudo-rs is in main now, removing block-proposed
