Chris: I agree! see my first post in the thread: "In conclusion your code looks OK!" refering to appending to /etc/sudoers. I was mearly explaining how one can override with $EDITORS as there seemed to be some confusion about how to achive that, and it can be a usefull technique even if not in this case.

I do not think that there is any Debian-blessed way for a package to edit /etc/sudoers. Infact I think it is prohibited under debian policy section 10.7. > I prefer to put my changes in packages and not in > "one-time" scripts, as this makes them also usable outside of the > specific environment of debian-live. And the whole point of Debian-Live > is to use unmodified Debian. Probably the best way is to include instructions in the packages README.Debian file. I personally would not want a package to edit /etc/sudoers for me though I'd be grateful for clear instructions in README.Debian. The use of the package in debian-live is slightly different... live-helper is there to generate a pre-configured debian system... hence use of a one time script is the most elagant way given all these restrictions! Anyway... that is my take on it!
