An interesting question to consider is where would be the best place
to put this kind of information.  I learned it very on in my career,
and what is "obvious" to one person can be "obscure lore" to another.

It's probably too much tutorial information for the su man page, but
some kind of "system administrators tutorial/guide/handbook" might be
a great place for this kind of "so you want to create system
administration scripts as root --- what are best practices for
security/robustness/etc.".  For Debian systems, maybe contributing
something to The Debian Administrator's Handbook, at
https://debian-handbook.info?

I'm not sure what's the best place for Fedora/RedHat/Ubuntu system
administrators.
