Fwiw, I looked at the code of "su.c" from util-linux (because
debian/ubuntu may switch to it, see https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-
bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=833256) and it looks like the bug is not present
there. The su-common.c:modify_environment() code will first
setenv_path() from login.defs and then do the supam_export_environment()
which will override the existing PATH if /etc/environment also defines
it.
