[Bug 2142864] [NEW] Add commented pwfeedback line to help with sudo-rs change

[Simon Johnsson]

Public bug reported:

The recent version of sudo-rs (0.2.12-0ubuntu1) enables `pwfeedback` by
default. Some users have expressed discontent with this change, and as
such it might be a good idea to help them easily revert the change if
they want to. In a post on the Ubuntu Discourse
(https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/sudo-rs-enables-pwfeedback-by-default-
for-resolute-raccoon/77712) I mention how, but this might not be the
most user-friendly way.

corradoventu gave the suggestion of adding a commented out line for
"Defaults !pwfeedback" such that users easily can revert without having
to add new options to their configuration file themselves. Reference:
https://discourse.ubuntu.com/t/sudo-rs-enables-pwfeedback-by-default-
for-resolute-raccoon/77712/2

This might be something worth investigating.
