No, Stephan is correct.  In Debian stable, "su" with no arguments
changes PATH.  It has done so for years.  Decades, if I'm not mistaken.

Here, watch:

wooledg:~$ echo "$PATH"
/home/wooledg/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/local/games:/usr/games
wooledg:~$ su
Password: 
root@wooledg:/home/wooledg# echo "$PATH"
/usr/local/sbin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/sbin:/usr/bin:/sbin:/bin

If testing/unstable has changed this behavior, then that's going to be
a HUGE thing to adjust to.  Has a bug been filed for it yet?
