Is my update botched or are we back to have to fully shell devel-su for even one-liners?

IIRC su-devel was equal to devel-su (maybe symlinked?), to make it easier to find for someone looking for commands starting with "su..."

devel-su can be used both for one-liners and to get a root shell. It depends on whether an argument (the command to execute) is supplied or not.

@luen thank you! was under the impression su-devel was our version of sudo with all the the CVEs that come with it so maybe dropped, devel-su with parameter does actually work, awesome
