Yes, I concur.

I believe this affects multiple packages, but as it is rarely needed
to run them with sudo this did not become apparent. Question is what
needs to be done here. I would say if it is ok to run these with sudo
-E, then we could work it around by documenting this, but the proper
solution would be to ensure that these modules are found.
