sudo doesn't do that, because it doesn't use .../etc/sudo/

Right, sudo doesn't use $(sysconfdir)/sudo (I agree with them that 2
isn't a "large number"). So there is no need to override a
$(sysconfdir)/sudo at configure time.

sudo can't be used as precedent here, because it doesn't use
$sysconfdir/sudo

Makefile.am currently has:
nmhetcdir = @sysconfdir@/nmh
nmhlibexecdir = @libexecdir@/nmh
If you want to tweak things so that they can be overridden at configure
time, great. But I think that we should retain the current default
behavior.
