Dear Maintainer,

I noticed that /usr/lib/cargo/bin/su is not suid root meaning that the
su binary that ships with sudo-rs can not (as installed) act as a
replacement for the /usr/bin/su from util-linux.

An update to the post-install script has already been merged
(see https://salsa.debian.org/rust-team/debcargo-conf/-/merge_requests/909 )
but the package seems to not yet have been updated.

Regards,

Nick.
