/sbin is in root's path by default. However Debian now uses a different implementation of `su` which no longer changes PATH by default: +--- | - new 'su' (with no args, i.e. when preserving the environment) also | preserves PATH and IFS, while old su would always reset PATH and IFS | even in 'preserve environment' mode. | [...] | The first difference is probably the most user visible one.
