That's one valid solution. Configuring su by creating an /etc/default/su
file is another. There are more correct answers besides these, too.
<https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster#Changes> has a list of some, but
it's still not complete (and never will be). Be creative!
I find it disheartening to call what Maureen did "incorrect", when she's
just doing the standard thing that used to work for decades before Debian
broke it.
I would call Debian's release of a util-linux package with an unconfigured
su(1) incorrect instead. But apparently the Debian maintainers don't
see things the way I see them. And now it's been 3 full releases since
the behavior changed, and it's still broken, so clearly Debian isn't
going to fix it. That means it's up to us, the users, to fix it on all
of our systems instead.
