I can't find any relevant change in Emacs in that timeframe.
OTOH it seems that the `su` that comes with Debian may have changed
between Debian 9 and Debian 10 (tho whether you see the change or not
might depend on whether you did an upgrade or a fresh install).
https://wiki.debian.org/NewInBuster says:
The `su` command in buster is provided by the `util-linux` source
package, instead of the `shadow` source package, and no longer alters
the `PATH` variable by default.
the change mentioned doesn't explain the difference you're seeing, but
maybe this other `su` has other changes (w.r.t $LOGNAME and $USER)
which do.
