Fedora 12 to remove unprivileged package installation
The problems with sudo and dpkg (and friends) you describe have been known for a while. Search
for bug 318736: updating the system should not be done by untrusted users, was the verdict of the
dpkg maintainer. There are no default configurations that I know that are at odds with this --
except of course the one we are discussing here.
(There is cosmic justice: if you have searched for bug 318736, you may have noticed one Debian sudo related bug
(well, apt-listchanges run with escalated privileges) and one Ubuntu
dbus related one.)
