I reviewed your proposed changes, but I don't think it's the right approach. The origin of the problem is that the md5sum of /etc/sudoers is the same for wheezy and later, so the logic intended to back it up only for wheezy ends up incorrectly backing it up in jessie and later too. The solution I propose to modify /etc/sudoers so that it has a different checksum, which prevents the incorrect backup. Please see attached. I plan to upload this fix to unstable in a few days if there isn't any feedback. Best wishes, Mike
