If there's some clever thing that could be done, for example in the preinst, to help the packaging system not need to prompt on upgrades that cross this transition, I'd be happy to do it. But, given my understanding of how things work and my experiences "trying to be clever" handling the sudoers file in previous releases of sudo, I currently believe the best option is to just leave this alone and let users be potentially confused one time each as they upgrade sudo across this boundary.
