What an interesting idea.
I definitely don't want to make this always be the case. In general I
really hate the way that build scripts all over the universe think
they are allowed to make themselves root, and the fact that I have no
sudo is then very useful: I get some message about sudo not found,
usually followed by a pile of random junk as the script blunders on
anyway.
I wonder if maybe
ln -s /usr/sbin/really /usr/local/sbin/sudo
would suffice for your use case ?
