Title:
  Merge from upstream "Add error messages on wildcards and accept a
  'final' wildcard #1463"

Status in rust-sudo-rs package in Ubuntu:
  Fix Released

Bug description:
  Change from the classic sudo to sudo-rs have some negative
  consequences.

  One of them is the missing support for wildcards in commands which can
  negatively impact security by forcing administrators to allow much
  more command variants than needed (especially when the command has
  sub-commands like apt, systemctl etc.)

  Two weeks ago the upstream merged pull request allowing a wildcard as
  the final argument in command specification:
  https://github.com/trifectatechfoundation/sudo-rs/pull/1463

  As we are talking about LTS version which can impact security habits
  of administrators for years, I think it is very important to include
  the support for wildcards. Please consider including it.
