Hi Piotr! Thanks for the bug report. I understand your frustration in
existing things breaking due to unexpected changes. The current upstream
stance for the `-E` argument however, is for existing solutions to
replace it with an explicit `--preserve-env=VAR` for security reasons.
At the moment, this should be viable for all scenarios where `-E` is
used.

Although everything cannot be changed at once, snaps using the `-E` flag
will be patched to use `--preserve-env=VAR` as well. One example is
microk8s which had the same issue:
https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-sudo-rs/+bug/2129806

If you have any specific packages that break when using sudo-rs, feel
free to let us know with a bug report so that we are made aware of the
issue.

For now, I am marking this bug as "Won't fix", as it is essentially a
duplicate of https://bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/rust-sudo-
rs/+bug/2129806
