Summary
wheel is the default and sudo is a debianism from the solus 2 days. Requires us to patch things so they work as expected but invetiably we've missed some things over the years causing some functionality to not work as expected.
We will not yet remove admin users from the sudo group until we are confident we've found everything
Resolves #299, #7169.
Test Plan
Add packages to local repo, update and reboot
