Package: sudo
Version: 1.9.17p2-9
Severity: important
Hello,
Upstream installs the /etc/sudoers.d directory with the mode 0750 while
the debian package installs it as 0755.
Shouldn't we follow upstream here?
Kind regards,
Laurent Bigonville

No, Debian policy trumps upstream here. There is no reason to break sudo¹
in sudo.
Greetings
