Dear maintainers,

I recently migrated to sudo-rs, and so far everything seems to be
working fine!

It would be much more convenient to migrate to it though if there was a
system-wide way to replace /usr/bin/sudo with sudo-rs, maybe using
dpkg's update-alternative mechanism [1] [2]?

Not sure if the sudo package itself would need to be modified though...

Cheers,
