Indeed that seems to be the case. Looking at user-setup-apply, line 154
has a conditional which only installs sudo if /etc/sudoers does not
exist in the target. This test obviously fails to do the right thing
when installing with an existing /etc.

If the next line (157) which has the installation commands is a no-op
when sudo is installed (at least it should be), then I think the
conditional could be removed completely.

Best,
