00aptitude is generated by user-setup, when root-login is disabled. It
contains one setting:
Aptitude::Get-Root-Command "sudo:/usr/bin/sudo";
which is also set in 05aptitude, shipped with /Ubuntu's/ aptitude
package. The user-setup code seems more universal, being conditional on
root-login disable, also contained in Debian, and co-located with
settings for other programs to also use sudo.
Setting this option twice is redundant, and may lead to race conditions
in configuration (e.g. if there is an override between 00 and 05).
Ubuntu maintainers should decide which is the canonical location for the
setting and remove the other.
