+<para>
+You may wish to add this directive to the end of your
+<filename>/etc/sudoers</filename>, as this won't be done automatically during
+the upgrade.  And you may also wish to consider migrating your changes to files
+in the new <filename>/etc/sudoers.d</filename> directory.

+Unless you also add a <literal>Defaults secure_path=</literal> entry to your
+modified <filename>/etc/sudoers</filename>, you may find that <systemitem
+role="package">sudo</systemitem> has an incomplete path.  Specifying the fully
+qualified path to commands will still work, however.  See
