Actually I think this question was about a bug in the sudo package, so the existing report about it against the sudo package would be the right place to start. Luckily it has already been fixed: | sudo (1.8.3p1-2) unstable; urgency=low | | * if upgrading from squeeze, and the sudoers file is unmodified, avoid | the packaging system prompting the user about a change they didn't make | now that sudoers is a conffile, closes: #612532, #636049 dE, the behavior you propose is already the default behavior of dpkg.
