I assume that the increase epoch is precisely for cases where there is a 
significant change / replacement program, where the new program has a lower 
version number than the previous one. This is exactly the case, as it is now 
sudo-trinity. However, an increase in version number to 2.0 also solves the 
problem.

You prefer an increase in version number to 2.0? I'll wait for the update in 
build-deps for R14 and then I'll take packages also into v3.5.13.1.
