Can you elaborate on the "might break other packages" part? Do you refer to other packages that also need to add things to the "sudoers" line? In either case, packages modifying this file should leave it in the same state as before, be it the default from base-files, or the default from another package that also modified the file before, so I don't see how adding the line by default would help at all. In either case, there is a request for a mechanism to update nsswitch.conf, so this is more a bug aginats libc-bin: https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=649265#78 -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-bugs-dist-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
