During my latest adventures with x2goserver/SUSE, I came across one
particular problem: /etc/sudoers.d does not exist on SUSE 11 and is not
used either (this is also why the latest builds after my commits today
failed.)

This means that a file installed in /etc/sudoers.d will not work on that
system.

There is /etc/sudoers, but as this is a single file, we can't just
overwrite it. I have no idea how to fix that problem (2 years later)
once and for all for SUSE 11, currently, other than doing this in a
%post/%preun scriptlet. I'll try getting help in the OBS channel.

Unless anyone here has any ideas how to correctly change the "static"
/etc/sudoers file?
