Dear sudo maintaners,
could you please introduce a `libnss-sudo` (or `libnss-sudoers`) whose
job is to add the `sudoers` database line in `/etc/nsswitch.conf` via
`dh_installnss(1)`?
A patch that adds a `libnss-sudo` to `src:sudo` is available at:
https://salsa.debian.org/sudo-team/sudo/-/merge_requests/12
`dh_installnss` (part of `dh-nss`) provides a declarative way to manage
NSS databases and services. Almost all Debian packages that install NSS
services have been converted to `dh-nss`.
Introducing `libnss-sudo` and moving to `dh-nss` will also solve the
issues described in #783889 [1]. sssd has already been converted to
dh-nss [2,3]. The last remaining piece of the puzzle is having the
`sudoers` database declared in an ad-hoc package like `libnss-sudo`.
