just to make notation clear

/etc/sudoers is a *configuration file*, i.e. rules of preserving user
changes apply

since wheezy it is also a *conffile* i.e. shipped with the package at
/etc/sudoers and managed by dpkg, not to be touched by maintainer scripts

before it was managed by maintainer scripts

the tricky part is to get a smooth upgrade patch from the pre-conffile
stage to a conffile

* with preserving user chnages
* without asking useles questions

(do not even think about downgrades, they are just unsuported)

I think the real bug is still that pre-conffile handling is applied to a
conffile by listing the wheezy md5sum

if dpkg installs a conffile for the first time there are three
possibilities:

* the file does not exist - trivial: install and record it
* the file exists and is the same as being installed - record it
* the file exists but is different: ask
