+# The default /etc/sudoers file created on installation of the
+# sudo package now includes the directive:
+#
+# @includedir /etc/sudoers.d
+#
+# This will cause sudo to read and parse any files in the /etc/sudoers.d
+# directory that do not end in '~' or contain a '.' character.
+#
+# Note that there must be at least one file in the sudoers.d directory (this
+# one will do).
+#
+# Note also, that because sudoers contents can vary widely, no attempt is
+# made to add this directive to existing sudoers files on upgrade. Feel free
+# to add the above directive to the end of your /etc/sudoers file to enable
+# this functionality for existing installations if you wish! Sudo
+# versions older than the one in Debian 11 (bullseye) require the
+# directive will only support the old syntax #includedir, and the current
+# sudo will happily accept both @includedir and #includedir
+#
+# Finally, please note that using the visudo command is the recommended way
+# to update sudoers content, since it protects against many failure modes.
+# See the man page for visudo and sudoers for more information.
