Details

Not sure if this proposal is ideal, but it solves the following dependency issue:
If sudo is replaced by opendoas on a setup by symlinking „sudo“ to doas, the (meta-)package base-devel will pull the sudo package back in as a dependency, even though doas provides for everything sudo is required for, resulting in undesired redundancy and an increase of attack surface.
This task depends upon
