How did you (Jerry) end up with this configuration? This is not
normal as far as I know. I can't imagine any Debian developer wrote
a postinst script that would comment out individual lines in the
/etc/sudoers file.
I'm guessing there is more to this story than you're telling us. Either
you didn't install Debian (perhaps you installed Raspbian or something),
or you modified the sudoers file during or after the installation, or
you inherited this system from someone else who modified it....
