+As of Debian version 1.7.2p1-1, the default /etc/sudoers file created on
+installation of the package now includes the directive:
+
+       #includedir /etc/sudoers.d
+
+This will cause sudo to read and parse any files in the /etc/sudoers.d 
+directory that do not end in '~' or contain a '.' character.
+
+Note that because the sudoers file is not a 'conffile' in the Debian sense,
+and sudoers contents can very widely, no attempt is made to add this directive
+to existing sudoers files on upgrade.  Feel free to add the above directive
+to the end of your /etc/sudoers file to enable this functionality for existing
+installations if you wish!

 The version of sudo that ships with Debian by default resets the
 environment, as described by the "env_reset" flag in the sudoers file.
