We don't have to do it now.  Here's the reason:

# cat /var/sadm/pkg/CSWsudoldap/save/pspool/CSWsudoldap/pkgmap
: 1 489
1 f none /opt/csw/bin/sudo.ldap 0755 root bin 245232 16892 1254763822
1 i depend 227 20555 1254763830
1 i pkginfo 487 41164 1254763830

Look at the permissions: "/opt/csw/bin/sudo.ldap 0755". The
CSWsudoldap package is contains a binary that is not setuid root.  I
would like to declare CSWsudoldap useless and ignore it for now.
We'll worry about making CSWsudoldap an alternative when it's done
properly, and when it actually works.
