I talked to the developer by e-mail. It does work, but does not follow symlinks 
so for example, to whitelist nano for use in a sudo session you have to 
whitelist it as /bin/nano not as /usr/bin/nano

Thanks for taking the time to report this bug and helping to make Ubuntu
better. We appreciate the difficulties you are facing, but this appears
to be a "regular" (non-security) bug.  I have unmarked it as a security
issue since this bug does not show evidence of allowing attackers to
cross privilege boundaries nor directly cause loss of data/privacy.
Please feel free to report any other bugs you may find.

** Visibility changed to: Public

** This bug is no longer flagged as a security vulnerability
