Title:
  Should replace / conflict with "old" sudo

Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
  New

Bug description:
  I have just upgraded from 25.04 to 25.10 (well, technically beta, but
  just before the release).

  This upgrade procedure installed the new Rust sudo and made it the
  default, but left the old sudo.ws there as well, with setuid bit.

  As far as I know, the whole point of having a brand new version,
  written in a much safer programming language, is to highly reduce the
  risk of yet-undiscovered security holes (buffer overruns or whatnot)
  being present in the system.

  There's absolutely no way that having both versions installed at the
  same time, both with root as owner and the setuid bit set, would serve
  this goal.
