Bug Description

hey there- it looks like we accidentally removed the patch that fixed this problem when releasing sudo 1.8.16-0ubuntu1.6 -

https://git.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/sudo/commit/?h=ubuntu/xenial-updates&id=15345b19b82f587498573b38554e24ec0ab816cb

note that `terminate-with-commands-signal.patch` is removed from debian/patches/series in that commit

and the behavior described in the original bug (LP 1686803) has returned in xenial.

can we get this back into the current sudo package? the fix still exists upstream so it feels like this was an accidental reversion.

do you have any guidance on how long a fix like this generally takes to land? we're deciding whether or not to roll our own, as this has some immediately undesirable effects in our environment.
