Yeah, that's the argument for using something relatively obscure, although
I agree with the point that using Debian-* for this probably isn't wise
since those are really for local system groups that the sysadmin shouldn't
have to think about and which are artifacts of specific packages.
Really, ideally, this is something that would be standardized across
distributions.
I like sudoroot, personally, but I think sudo is probably okay.
