Right.

It validates the [/etc/sudoers.d] entries' syntax.
Actually very useful.

It is.
But not as you expect it to be.

No, there is no visudo package.

The [visudo] command is part of the [sudo] package and you will find
it in [/usr/sbin/visudo].

See here:

https://pkginfo.devuan.org/cgi-bin/package-query.html?c=package&q=sudo
=1.9.13p3-1+deb12u1

But if you are *not* root, the system will (correctly) print out
"command not found".

You're welcome.

BTW:
[*$ man visudo] would have found it for you without much ado.
