Title:
  sudo built with --with-secure-path is problematic

Status in “sudo” package in Ubuntu:
  Confirmed

Bug description:
  Binary package hint: sudo

  For developers who do cross-compiling (for example), sudo needs to
  inherit the path of the user invoking the sudo command. A better
  solution is to build without this option and instead alias 'sudo' to
  'sudo -i' in user accounts (or /etc/bash.bashrc). At least this method
  may be easily undone by developers who need to use the sudo path
  inheritance. OR, provide a command-line option to permit the path
  inheritance.
