Package: sudo
Version: 1.8.3p2-1
Severity: normal

Dear Maintainer,

The sudo manpage, in the SECURITY NOTES section, mentions that:

  the actual PATH environment variable is not modified and is passed unchanged
  to the program that sudo executes

Whether this is true, however, depends on the configuration (i.e. 'secure 
path'). The docs should mention that.
