The point here is that, permissions of /etc/sudoers could be set after 
building and just before creating the package.

In that case, it would not matter what the permissions of sudoers were 
during the build stage.

And that's the whole point here ;) If all the software were setting 
correct permissions after building and before packing, we could build 
with all the permissions set to 700/600 ;)

Well, that does not mean we cannot do better than Pat :^)

But as Erik said before, we cannot be sure about what the software 
creator meant with setting some file's permission to 700, and it's 
probably better to just leave it alone.

Summary:
- *goodbye* beloved chmod one-liner :/
- find to rule them all :/
